Sunshine In The Shadows

The Carter Family

Compositor: Jörgen Elofsson

When our hearts are bound in sorrow
And it seems all help is gone
Jesus whispers do not falter
I will lead you not alone
Then somehow amidst my trials
How it is I cannot see
Then I hear a voice from heaven
Gently saying follow me

There is sunshine in the shadows
There is sunshine in the rain
There is sunshine in our sorrows
And our hearts are filled with pain
There is sunshine when we're burdened
There is sunshine when we pray
There is sunshine heavenly sunshine
Blessed sunshine all the way

Sometimes my friends forsake me
And I'm tempted to despair
Then I think of my dear savior
To lay his head he had no where
Oh it pays to follow Jesus
Just to learn of him each day
And I'll guarantee you my brothers
You'll have sunshine all the way
