If you talk with kindness and walk with grace,
If love and good cheer are all over your face,
If you trust in the Lord with your heart full of light,
Then folks all around you will say, “That feels right.”
They’ll watch how you live and the words that you say.
They’ll notice your joy every step of the way.
When you care for the hurting, the lost, and the small,
They’ll see that God’s love is the best love of all.
Be bold with your faith, though you may be quite young.
Let truth be your banner, your steps be well-strung.
Don’t grumble or mumble or try to pretend.
Just be a good neighbor, a brother, a friend.
Show love that keeps giving, both steady and true,
And trust him completely in all that you do.
For when your words and actions align just right,
Respect will arrive like a beam of bright light.
