Lyrics

Intro


You bring the sun out to make my love grow
To warm my life up


Chorus


You bring the sun out
You're the reason that I'm living, I was hurting but I'm happy again
You bring the sun out
I was hurting but I'm happy again
You bring the sun out
Lord I wanna thank You 'cause
You bring the sun out, to make my love grow, You bring the sun out
You were there when I had nothing
You've been with me from beginning to end
You bring the sun out
No clouds in the sky, that's the reason why
I Love You


Verse


Question number one What can I do
Question number two What can I say
To try to let You know I appreciate, all of the ways You get me through my day
Never would have thought I would be here
A heart with no scars a face with no tears
How can I thank You how can I show You
Wish I could get the whole world to know You


Channel


If they only knew You are the one that gives me the air to breathe
And see I can't deny that You're the reason why my life has a melody
And even when I stray I still feel Your grace pulling me close to You
So no matter where You are, just know I'm not far without You what would I do


(Repeat Chorus)


Verse 2


Question number three where would I be
And Lord not only that but how could You see
My days and my nights, the pains of my life
But now it's alright 'cause You worked it out for me
You gave me a chance when I had no chance
When I needed help You gave me Your hand
So now they need to see just what You mean to me and if You ever left me where would I be


Repeat Channel
Repeat Chorus x2


Breakdown


I feel the sunlight on my life reminding me that it is alright
And I see the rainbow and I know my storm is finally passed away
There is a soft wind that begins to blow back the clouds
So I can see Your perfect plan now I can hurry to my destiny

Meaning & Inspiration

Sunshine is a joyful song of thanks for the way God brightens life. The opening says He brings the sun out to make love grow and warm the heart, and the chorus repeats the line "You bring the sun out" while admitting that the singer was hurting but is happy again. The singer thanks Him for being there when there was nothing and for staying from beginning to end.

The verse asks what can be done or said to show appreciation, wishes that the whole world could know Him, and notes that a heart with no scars and a face with no tears would not have been expected. The channel and second verse speak of grace pulling the singer close, a chance given when there was no chance, and a storm that has passed. The themes follow Psalm 84:11 on the Lord as sun and shield, Malachi 4:2 on healing in the rising sun, and Lamentations 3:22-23 on new mercies. The bright, repeated hook makes the song upbeat and grateful.
