Him, He is always awake and always bringing the spirit
A sense of the beauty, a sense of the truth, a sense of the joy
That comes to those who know – His grace and His love
The whole reason that we can know the peace that is alive,
Breathing out miracles with a light that shines so very bright
With the light of life – Sonshine discerns the meaning behind
Every battle that comes – be it bitter or beautiful
Thanks to Him, we can always know that it is beneficial to us
