Today is the bluest blue
The greenest green
Sun shining strong
Brightest I have seen
Midsummer today
The best that we can be
Life in all its loveliness
All that I can see
In human life
The truest true
Is in the Nazarene
The Lord of life
Reveals the truest heart
No puritan no misery
No mediocrity
A man of all the virtues
And the art
Enter by the narrow gate
The words he says today
Advice for discipline and control
‘Life’ is what we seek in life
An art, experience
A daily challenge
Not a lazy stroll
We walk the journey of our life
Today and every day
We do not wander here and there
We have a destiny
Summer autumn winter spring
All seasons are our fate
Be faithful to the hard road
It leads to heaven’s gate
