MAKE UP YOUR MIND
If you make up your mind to be happy
and have joy,
Even if your day goes wrong and many
things annoy,
For somewhere from behind a dark cloud
the sun shines through,
And however hard the day may be blessings
will come to you.
If you make up your mind to be really kind
whatever people do,
The main part of the battle is won for they
cannot change you,
A sweet word to someone who is rude could
change a persons day,
They may think you a little crazy not to be
rude back again,
But they also may stop and think that rudeness
can cause others pain.
If you make up your mind to stay true to all
truth and righteousness,
What ever happens the decision is made and
the Lord will always bless
You with a personality that will grow ever
strong and firm,
And you will help others along lifes way,
His glory one day earn.
