UPLIFTING
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 of the King James Bible
Let's uplift one another with glad cheer
Prompted by the Lord toward kindness-gear
Around partnership, calling friends as dear.
Let’s spread uplifting bliss midst hope’s delight
With hearty laughter of jubilant sprite
Triumphing over woes, vanquishing fright.
Let’s uplift the hurting with heartfelt smile
Making our presence felt… not just a while
Since prayers do prop them in their trial.
Let’s share uplifting peace, marked by God’s grace
That whispers His mercy around warm embrace
Compassion-propelled to win in life’s race.
Let’s uplift our neighbors, reaching them out
Offering help that conquers painful pout
Through faith-blest kindness sans shadow of doubt.
Let’s continue in Christ’s uplifting love
As selfishness and greed … we get rid of
To enjoy blessings from heaven above.
