Recipe For a Life of Love
Wake up every day, give thanks to the Lord
An expression of gratitude you can surely afford
Then take a minute, just a minute, to contemplate
Is there anyone on this Earth whom I think that I hate
If so, purge that hate from your heart; it has no place there
Consign it to ashes; of its return - please beware
After that one more minute - OK - maybe two
Infuse your heart with love for every person you knew
and now know... at home, at school, at work, on the street
Vow to receive with good cheer every new face you meet
Manifest the image of God; He's yours to glorify
Fill your heart with pure love ~ in abundant supply
