One cup of hope
Two tablespoons of faith
Three scoops of patience
Two cups of kindness
A handful of trust
One-third cup of peace
Two tablespoons of generosity
Two cups of joy
Four pints of purity
Mix these ingredients together
And don't leave any out;
Keep them with you forever-
They will help you out.
And in times of doubt,
Faith will step in and bring hope,
Then to God you can turn-
He will help you cope.
And in times of trouble
Peace and trust will come around,
And where there is sunshine,
Joy will certaintly be found.
And in weary silence
Patience will endure;
It will guide and
Strengthen you for sure.
When the world offers lust
You'll remember purity;
For without it sin will triumph-
It will choke you and me.
When you see a needy stranger
Generosity will strech out its hand
And bring happiness and blessings
To your home and your land.
Finally, when love is ready,
Freshly baked, soft, and done;
Then the smell of kindness
Will envelop everyone.
