Loving Thy Neighbor

When the dew drops gather and drop as fallen rain As the night’s fog lifts its blanket of gray When the first light of morning’s sun gives ray I awake to face yet another glorious day Be the cheerful light that shines Give the best to all that you find Speak the words of grace divine Let your worries diminish and be you kind Hold close abreast your love for Lord Work for truth so true you may afford Sing the praises of who made thee Worship in spirit and God will not flee Give unto others as your journey unfolds Bless your children with stories told Play the child’s game of bluff blindfold And in your old age the child will console To live your moments in testament of faith Help the less and praise the Great For in so doing befriended as first mate The grace of thy neighbor knows thee by name Your walk in the Lord his kingdom to gain
