The Carter Family
Sunshine in the Shadows
[Verse 1]
When our hearts are bowed in sorrow
And it seems all help is gone
Jesus whispers do not falter
I will leave 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

[Chorus]
There is sunshine in the shadows
There is sunshine in the rain
There is sunshine in our sorrows
Though 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

[Verse 2]
Sometimes my friends forsake me
And I'm tempted to despair
Then I think of my dear savoir
Who lay his head, his head nowhere
Oh, it pays to follow Jesus
Just to learn of him each day
And I'll guarantee you, my brother
You'll have sunshine all the way
[Chorus]
