I Would Be True

H. A. Walter (1906) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 119:30

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
