The Gospel and the Guardian
Are my daily food and fare
The Gospel to inspire and guide
The Guardian to make aware
We need a social conscience
A care for those in need
Sensitivity to justice
This the daily creed
A little left of centre
Is where the heart should be
The centre yes for balance
The left for poverty
A care for those the poorest
In body mind or soul
A special care for those in need
That should be our role
The Lord he walked the middle road
Talked to high and low
Associated with the lowly
Nowhere was no go
They called him a friend of sinners
For acting in this way
They put him on a cross for it
But love has won the day
