Lyrics

If you’ll give your heart to Jesus,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun;
If you’ll give your heart to Jesus,
You will outshine the sun,
And walk the golden streets on high.

If you’ll do as Jesus bids you,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun;
If you’ll do as Jesus bids you,
You will outshine the sun,
And walk the golden streets on high.

If you’ll win a soul for Jesus,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun;
If you’ll win a soul for Jesus,
You will outshine the sun,
And walk the golden streets on high.

If the Spirit dwells within you,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun;
If the Spirit dwells within you,
You will outshine the sun,
And walk the golden streets on high.

If you’ll only stop your growling,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun;
If you’ll only stop your growling,
You will outshine the sun,
And walk the golden streets on high.

If you’ll only stop your scowling,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun;
If you’ll only stop your scowling,
You will outshine the sun,
And walk the golden streets on high.

If you’ll follow in His footsteps,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun;
If you’ll follow in His footsteps,
You will outshine the sun,
And walk the golden streets on high.

If you’ll freely give to Jesus,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun,
You will outshine the sun;
If you’ll freely give to Jesus,
You will outshine the sun,
And walk the golden streets on high.

I will meet you in the morning,
When we’ll outshine the sun,
When we’ll outshine the sun,
When we’ll outshine the sun;
I will meet you in the morning,
When we’ll outshine the sun,
And walk the golden streets on high.
