I remember the demonstration at Vacation Bible School revealing how Jesus can take a black heart of sin, wash it with the red blood of Jesus, making it whiter than snow.
2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
I’m ever so thankful for the light Jesus shined in my heart when I asked Him for forgiveness. I was a child, but I’ll never forget it. It was a life changer.
Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Sunlight

“I wandered in the shades of night, —. Till Jesus came to me, — And with the sunlight of His love — Bid all my darkness flee.
Chorus
“Sunlight, sunlight in my soul today — Sunlight, sunlight all along the way; — Since the Savior found me — Took away my sin, — I have had the sunlight of his love within.
“Tho' clouds may gather in the sky, — And billows round me roll, — However dark the world may be, — I've sunlight in my soul.
“While walking in the light of God, — I sweet communion find; — I press with holy vigor on, — And leave the world behind.
“I cross the wide-extended fields, — I journey o'er the plain, — And in the sunlight of His love — I reap the golden grain.
“Soon I shall see Him as He is, — The light that came to me, — Behold the brightness of his face, — Thro'out eternity.”
Judson W. Van De Venter 1897
