You will outshine the sun;

You will outshine the sun,
And walk the golden streets on high.
If you’ll win a soul for Jesus,
You will outshine the sun,

I will meet you in the morning,
When we’ll outshine the sun,
When we’ll outshine the sun,
When we’ll outshine the sun;
I will meet you in the morning,
When we’ll outshine the sun,
And walk the golden streets on high.
