Lyrics

If Je­sus leads this ar­my,
We will out­shine the sun,
We will out­shine the sun,
We will out­shine the sun;
If Je­sus leads this ar­my,
We will out­shine the sun,
And we’ll walk the gold­en streets on high.

If we keep on a-pray­ing,
We will out­shine the sun,
We will out­shine the sun,
We will out­shine the sun;
If we keep on a-pray­ing,
We will out­shine the sun,
And we’ll walk the gold­en streets on high.

If we keep on be­liev­ing,
We will out­shine the sun,
We will out­shine the sun,
We will out­shine the sun;
If we keep on be­liev­ing,
We will out­shine the sun,
And we’ll walk the gold­en streets on high.

If we stay clean and hum­ble,
We will out­shine the sun,
We will out­shine the sun,
We will out­shine the sun;
If we stay clean and hum­ble,
We will out­shine the sun,
And we’ll walk the gold­en streets on high.

If Je­sus keeps us pol­ished,
We will out­shine the sun,
We will out­shine the sun,
We will out­shine the sun;
If Je­sus keeps us pol­ished,
We will out­shine the sun,
And we’ll walk the gold­en streets on high.

If we keep on a-shout­ing,
We will out­shine the sun,
We will out­shine the sun,
We will out­shine the sun;
If we keep on a-shout­ing,
We will out­shine the sun,
And we’ll walk the gold­en streets on high.

Keep win­ning souls for Je­sus,
We will out­shine the sun,
We will out­shine the sun,
We will out­shine the sun;
Keep win­ning souls for Je­sus,
We will out­shine the sun,
And we’ll walk the gold­en streets on high.
