Text: | I Would Be True |
Author: | Howard Arnold Walter |
Tune: | PEEK |
Composer: | Joseph Yates Peek |
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,
I would be brave, for there is much to dare.
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,
I would look up, and laugh, and love and lift.
3 I would be prayerful through each busy moment;
I would have faith to keep the path Christ trod.
I would be tuned to hear the slightest whisper;
I would be constantly in touch with God,
I would be constantly iin touch with God.
