Man in the World

Man in the World

Well it is good to help in time and

Well to feel others pains and wounds

Well to behave as a man always

Though we may be in the sky or heaven

Render your help and show your mercy

To get His help and mercy

Keep your heart as a temple of love

To place Him there as your guide

Forget your prides and crowns and

Change yourself as a child

There He will be! There He will be!

As your mother and as your playmate

Throw your anger and throw your tears

His hands will be there to wipe in your cheeks

Smile for others and weep for others

Live for others to live as a “Man in the World”
