Look For the Beautiful

Verse 1

Look for the beautiful, look for the true; Sunshine and shadow are all around you. Looking at evil we grope in the night, Looking at Jesus we walk in the light; Look for the beautiful, honor the right.

Verse 2

Think of the beautiful, think of the true; Thoughts like an avalanche sweep over you. Keep not the multitude, sort them with care, Testing by purity, purging by prayer; Think of the beautiful, think of the fair.

Verse 3

Talk of the beautiful, talk of the true; Tongues full of poison are whispering to you. Answer them not with a tale-bearing word, Only in blessing the voice should be heard; Talk of the beautiful, talk of thy Lord.

Verse 4

Live for the beautiful, love for the true, Lifting the fallen as Christ lifted you. Search for the jewels imbedded in sin; Bring them to Jesus, his blood washes clean; Live for the beautiful, keep love within.
