• Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam (Calypso)

6/8 songs adapt really easily to a Calypso-style 4/4. Except for a couple of spots, I would rate this one as very easy. Enjoy!

Listen to the 6/8 version at LDS.org.

Lyrics
1. Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,
To shine for him each day;
In ev’ry way try to please him,
At home, at school, at play.

2. Jesus wants me to be loving
And kind to all I see,
Showing how pleasant and happy
His little one can be.

Chorus
A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.
A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
I’ll be a sunbeam for him.

Words: Nellie Talbot
Music: Edwin O. Excell, 1851-1921
