Each day you live be grateful You are alive another day Take time to gather flowers, In abundance, to give away. Give the flowers to the living We were taught long ago... Speak while they can hear you, If you love them tell them so. Seek no man out to slander Or to ridicule his name... We all belong to Jesus and He loves each one the same. Do what you can for others, Hear their distressful cry... God sees how we treat others, He knows when we pass them by. Never leave kind words unspoken, Greet each one with a smile... Each day will grow brighter Each day more worthwhile.
Everybody, everywhere seeks happiness, it's true, But finding it and keeping it seems difficult to do. Difficult because we think that happiness is found Only in the places where wealth and fame abound- And so we go on searching in "palaces of pleasure" Seeking recognition and monetary treasure. Unaware that happiness is just a "state of mind" Within the reach of everyone who takes time to be kind For in making others happy we will be happy, too. For the happiness you give away returns to "shine on you."
Be a heart of love and kindness- As you journey through this earth- And, forever, know the blessings That endear a Christian's worth; And, forever, know the rapture Of Contentment and embrace In the loving arms of Jesus And the glories of His Grace.
Be a giver of His Goodness, On each path and road you trod, And a sharer of the fortunes That were willed to you by God; Let there never be a moment That is stained by hate or greed Or a moment's hesitation To fulfill a neighbor's need.
Live and love with Christian virtues That are glorified, above, And a heart of God's compassions- That attest to Christian love; You will reap the joys of Heaven- For your cares to human strife- When you find the Lord, in waiting, On your final road of life.
If you think you are beaten, you are If you think you dare not, you don't. If you'd like to win but you think you can't, It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost, For out of the world we find Success begins with a fellow's will- It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outcasted, you are; You've got to think high to rise; You've got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize.
Life's battle don't always go To stronger or faster man; But soon or late the man who wins, Is the one who thinks he can.
Each Day You Live
