We drove through hills of red and gold, With autumn colors everywhere. Every turn revealed new beauty, More than words could ever share. But then the clouds began to open, And sunlight touched the trees. Suddenly those brilliant colors Were more beautiful than we'd dreamed. The colors had been there all along, The sunshine didn't put them there. But when the light came shining through, It brought out beauty everywhere. And as I watched that transformation, A thought came into view— If sunlight makes the leaves shine brighter, What could the Son in my life do? Let the sun in! Let it shine on everything! Watch the colors come alive, See the beauty that it brings! Let the Son in! Let His love shine through your life! There's so much more that we can be When we're walking in His light! Oh, what a difference When you let the Sun in! We each have gifts the Lord has given, Our own colors, bright and true. And He doesn't make us all alike, He brings out the best in me and you. His light can help us see our blessings, Find the good we couldn't see. And when we welcome Him into our lives, We become more than we dreamed we'd be. And when the clouds roll in again, And the sunshine disappears, The beauty hasn't gone away, It's waiting through the tears. For even when we cannot see The light that shines above, The Son is always reaching out With His never-ending love. Let the sun in! Let it shine on everything! Watch the colors come alive, See the beauty that it brings! Let the Son in! Let His love shine through your life! There's so much more that we can be When we're walking in His light! Oh, what a difference, What a beautiful difference, When you let the Son in! The colors were beautiful all along, But oh, what light can do! And when I let the Son shine in, He brings out beauty in me, too.
