1 Dark were the clouds of sin that spread above me,
Dark were the storms that threatened overhead;
Then I was introduced one day to Jesus,
Now there is beautiful sunshine instead.

Chorus:
There’s beautiful sunshine in my heart,
For I am a Christian with a brand new start!
Jesus has saved me, I’m washed in His blood,
There’s beautiful sunshine in my heart!

2 He was the one who gave me joy and gladness,
He was the one who scattered night and fear;
He was the one who took away the storm clouds,
He was the one who made the sun appear. [Chorus]

3 O I am glad I left the world of darkness,
Shadows are gone and sunshine fills the sky;
Yes, I am glad I trusted in the Savior,
All that I’ll ever need He can supply. [Chorus]
