God Wants a Man

-

God wants a man-honest and true and brave;

A man who hates the wrong and loves the right;

A man who scorns all compromise and sin,

Who for the truth courageously will fight.

-

God wants a man-in lowly walk or high,

Who to the world by daily life wil prove

That Christ abides within the yielded heart,

Fitting that heart for service and for love.

-

God wants a man who dares to tell the truth,

Who in the market-place will stand four-square;

Whose word men trust-a man who never stoops

To hurt his fellow or to act unfair.

-

God wants a man of action and of faith,

Whose life is something more than cant and talk;

Who lives each day as though it were his last,

And proves his faith by a consistent walk.
