THE SUN
by:  Eric L. Boddie

The sun, to the Earth, gives Life
Just as we Receive It Through The Son, Jesus Christ

The sun, God's Gift to all men, it even warms the skin
While The Son Keeps us warm from within

The sun, that big, great, glorious ball of light in the sky
The Son, The Light That Gives Life to you and I
