God's Garden in the Sun

God sent me down a ray of hope
and it has broken through
Tomorrow is a brand new day
and I can start anew
The forecast is for sunny skies
with not a cloud in sight
So I'm getting me a pair of shades
and walking in His light
I'm packing up my yesterdays
and leaving them behind
To run off with Joy and Love and Hope
and my new found Peace of mind
So Mr. Despair don't look for me
when tomorrow's day is done
I'm putting down roots in this place I found
called God's Garden in the Sun
'
