I have a charge to keep and a God to glorify. If I can help somebody as I travel along the way; If I can help somebody with a word or song; If I can help somebody from doing wrong; My living shall not be in vain. If I can do my duty, as a good person ought; If I can bring back beauty, to a world up wrought; If I can spread love’s message, as the Master (God) taught then my living shall not be in vain.”
