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 be constantly in touch with God.
I would be tuned to hear his slightest whisper
I would have faith to keep the path Christ trod.
I would have faith to keep the path Christ trod.
Amen.
