If I Can

If I can do some good today,
If I can serve along life's way,
If I can something helpful say,
just show me how.

If I can right a human wrong,
If I can help to make one strong,
If I can cheer with smile or song,
just show me how.

If I can aid one in distress,
If I can make a burden less,
If I can spread more happiness,
just show me how.

Hope

Hope is reaching out for God
And knowing He is there;
Hope is searching for release,
And finding it through prayer...

Hope is happiness and joy,
And rainbows in the sky
Hope is feeling God is near
When you begin to cry...

Hope is looking for a dream
That someday will come true;
Hope is waiting on the Lord,
When your days are sad and blue...

Hope is wishing for a star
That will bring you peace and light;
Hope is striving for God's love
To uphold you day and night!
