If we Christians keep a joyful heart

We look forward to each new day

Being compassionate to all we meet

Our Lord Jesus will show us the way.

 

If we aren’t happy with our own life

It's hard to be happy with others

Let’s all strive to keep a joyful heart

As should all Christian sisters and brothers.

 

A good attitude is most important as

it is displayed for others to see

And how we relate to those others

Determines how our life will be.

 

If we speak words before we think

And do things we know aren't right

 We cause hurt and sorrow to others

Which is not pleasing in God's sight.

 

Once harsh words are spoken

They can never be taken back

We can’t undo the things we’ve done

Let us think before we act.

 

God wants His children happy

Within our heart He dwells

But if we neglect His presence

By our actions, it always tells.

 

Let us keep our life in perspective

 Let our outlook always be bright.

Live each day, as we know we should

Then we’ll know our heart is right.

  

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…

Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)
