TEACHING BY EXAMPLE

Teaching by Example

There Lives a Loving Light in Ev'ry Heart, at least a Spark, if Not a Living Flame. Some call that Christ, where You can Make a Start, though ya might like ta use a Diff'rent Name! That Holy Flame some Fools might sometimes quench, believing what they're doing's good and right. When things are sweet, some Fools may Start a Stench; where peace and justice rules, they'll Start a Fight.

So What kin Help the ones who've Lost their Way? It's Love fer which a willing heart may Reach. The Rocks will Open, If we'll Love and Pray, and so we Must, if Goodness we would Teach!
