CHARITY
Written by Margo B. Smith

You’re asking me to serve
With these hands of mine
To give my neighbor help
To offer her my time
You’re asking me to walk
These feet an extra mile
And do it cheerfully with a loving smile
This can not be done without Your help
I struggle not to focus on myself
I’m praying on my knees
For You to grant me Your mercy
And help me live my life in charity

Chorus
Charity is the greatest virtue
It is always patient
It is kind
Charity is the greatest virtue
Lord, fill me with this virtue
Make it mine

You’re asking me to give
Even if it hurts
When my neighbor steps on me
You ask me not to curse
You’re expecting me
Always to forgive
And never hold a grudge
As long as I should live
This can not be done without Your help
I struggle not to focus on myself
I’m praying on my knees
For You to grant me Your mercy
And help me live my life in charity

Chorus

Fill me with this virtue
Fill me with this virtue
Fill me with this virtue
Make it mine (repeat)
