Author: Howard Arnold Walter Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #674 (1999) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: I would be true, for there are those that trust me Lyrics: 1 I would be true, for there are those that trust me;
I would be pure, for there are those who care;
I would be strong, for there is much to suffer;
I would be brave, for there is much to dare,
I would be brave, for there is much to dare.
2 I would be friend of all— the foe, the friendless;
I would be giving, and forget the gift;
I would be humble, for I know my weakness;
I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift,
I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift.
3 I would be prayerful thro' each busy moment;
I would be constantly in touch with God;
I would be tuned to hear the slightest whisper;
I would have faith to keep the path Christ trod,
I would have faith to keep the path Christ trod. Topics: Zion/WH and O. M. Society Languages: English Tune Title: PEEK
I Would Be True
