Be Thou An Example
I have heard of saints and prophets since I was young.
Till death they did triumph in what they have done.
They acted with great courage, withstood every test.
In faith they rest, angels of men, awake desire to be like them.
Did following Christ become their desire
Through strict obedience or a refiner’s fire?
What did they give up to serve Him, their wealth, their time, their lives?
Were these offerings a sacrifice or giving of their souls to Christ?
Be thou an example, like so many others who’ve gone before,
In word, conversation, in charity in spirit, in faith, in purity,
to become what He wants me to be.
As I ponder on these questions, I know why they did their part.
As my testimony strengthens, I know what’s in my heart.
I choose this day to serve Him, in faith, in deed, in word.
I don’t know what of me He’ll require, but I give my life, my desire!
Be thou an example, like so many others who’ve gone before,
In word, conversation, in charity in spirit, in faith, in purity,
to become what He wants me to be.
Did they know the power of their actions
would strengthen so many generations, generations!
Be thou an example, like so many others who’ve gone before,
In word, conversation, in charity in spirit, in faith, in purity,
to become what He wants me to be, to become what he wants me to be.
