More Precious Than Gold.

I’ve always wanted to do the right thing, 
I love to do things like write, and sing;
But when I think of all those in need, 
I want to go out and do the good deed. 

Jesus told me to be a shining light,
To go out and show the people what’s right. 
It burns in me to do Gods perfect will,
And his perfect will with his help I’ll fulfill. 

I will preach Jesus Christ to the lost, 
And tell them how he paid the cost; 
For all their sins, and all of mine,
And I’ll tell them of his love divine.

In Jesus happiness you will find,
He’ll erase your past from your heart and mind;
When we stumble He’ll hold our hand,
When we fall He’ll help us stand.

I want to share the truth with all, 
With young and old, big and small,
A life like that will never get old,
A friend like that’s more precious than Gold.
