A heart that is willing, a heart that is true
Might lead someone to say that they love you
How can one know that love dwells there?
Unless it is seen by actions that declare

Examine your heart in the stillness of night
Does it beat with God’s love in the harsh daylight?
If you follow the way that love will lead 
It will send you to those who live in great need

Has not God chosen those who are poor
To be rich in faith and love forevermore?
When you live by faith and show it with deeds 
You are planting a harvest that yields many seeds
