A Beautiful Life

 

1  

Each day I'll do a golden deed,  

By helping those who are in need;  

My life on earth is but a span,  

And so I'll do the best I can.  

2 

To be a child of God each day,  

My light must shine along the way;  

I'll sing His praise while ages roll  

And strive to help some troubled soul.  

3  

The only life that will endure,  

Is one that's kind and good and pure;  

And so for God I'll take my stand,  

Each day I'll lend a helping hand.  

4  

I'll help some one in time of need,  

And journey on with rapid speed;  

I'll help the sick and poor and weak,  

And words of kindness to them speak.  

5  

While going down life's weary road,  

I'll try to lift some trav'ler's load;  

I'll try to turn the night to day,  

Make flowers bloom along the way.    

Refrain:  

Life's evening sun is sinking low,  

A few more days and I must go,  

To meet the deeds that I have done,  

Where there will be no setting sun.

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.    Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.    James 2:14-26 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? ...    Colossians 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
