Let the sunshine in!


Remember this?

Click the play button to hear an audio recording of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans singing “Open up your heart and let the sunshine in!” Sing along with the words below.

I listened to this 78 rpm recording by Golden Records over and over again as a child. How about you?

So let the sunshine in,
    face it with a grin.
Smilers never lose
    and frowners never win.
So let the sunshine in,
    face it with a grin,
Open up your heart and let the sunshine in!

    The Weaver — one of my favorite poems

    by Patrick Coleman


    My Life is but a weaving
    between my Lord and me;
    I cannot choose the colors
    He worketh steadily.

    Oft times He weaveth sorrow
    And I, in foolish pride,
    Forget He sees the upper,
    And I the under side.

    Not til the loom is silent
    And the shuttles cease to fly,
    Shall God unroll the canvas
    And explain the reason why.

    The dark threads are as needful
    In the Weaver's skillful hand,
    As the threads of gold and silver
    In the pattern He has planned.

    He knows, He loves, He cares,
    Nothing this truth can dim.
    He gives His very best to those
    Who leave the choice with Him.
