Be...

Be SILENT when anger stirs your heart;

Don’t speak the word that sends the dart

Or adds a burden to some soul.

Add to your faith that self-control.

Be Silent.

Be PATIENT when everything goes wrong

And Satan tries to steal your song.

Let the peace of God keep mind and heart,

And every needful grace impart.

Be Patient.

Be KIND when folks don’t understand

And friends misjudge on every hand.

“Let your yieldedness be known,”

Remembering that you’re not your own.

Be Kind.

Be READY always to extend

A helping hand to foe or friend.

Jesus prayed for those whose hate

Caused Him to die without the gate.

Be Ready.

Be FAITHFUL; plow and sow the seed

By steady plod and loving deed.

Though others may not know the cost,

God knows your labour ‘tis not lost.

Be Faithful.
