AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOU - LYRICS

To be able to praise the good in another without feeling low;
To be able to say what it costs to say to those who ought to know;
To be able to smile and sing a song when your inside's upside down;
To be able to fly with your feet down on the ground;

To be able to love the ones who never care to say they do;
To be able to tolerate another's different point of view;
To be able to give your life away, the best you have to give
And to open your heart to those who can't forgive.

Give me that maturity,
That quiet serenity,
The wisdom that can only come from You.
As I read between the Gospel lines
I'm certain there's no other
As beautiful as You!

To be able to keep one's sanity when passions are laid bare;
To be able to be oneself amidst the glamour and the glare;
To become a little child to know the wonder and the grace
Of the sunshine and the morning on one's face.

To accept and be accepted by the poor and suffering;
To believe in truth and justice without fear before the kings;
To rejoice at all the blessings in life's daily interlude
And to close the pilgrimage in gratitude.
