Use "light" instead of "sun"?
There is a light in everyone and we must make it shine.
I'm Gonna Let it Shine! is a joyful setting of the traditional children's song "This Little Light of Mine" arranged for 2-3 octaves beginning handbell choir, handchime choir or festival ensemble. It is appropriate for church and school settings.
