Horace Greeley writes: “Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wing, and only character endures.”
Never forget our Lord’s profound teaching
Shelter faithful hearts each and every day
God renews our strength, always reaching
He positions loving hope to follow His way
Jesus reminds us daily to love one another
His fresh commandant reaches out to all
He truly wants us to witness to each other
Entrusted to make a better walk is our call
Protect integrity at each of life’s stops
Love God’s commandants, follow each
A person’s character should be tops
Christ’s working spirit will always seek
Maintain genuine discipline in one’s faith
God’s goodness and holiness arrive on time
Step forward to say “yes” to free grace
Encouraging us to obey a light that shines
