20873. I WOULD BE TRUE
Lyrics & Stanzas
3 portions
Verse 1
I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare;
Verse 2
I would be friend of all the foe, the friendless; I would be giving, and forget the gift; I would be humble, for I know my weakness;I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift;
Verse 3
I would be pray'rful thru each busy moment; I would be constantly in touch with God; I would be tuned to hear the slightest whisper; I would have faith to keep the path Christ trod
