STANDARDS PSALM

STANDARDS PSALM (Virtue Value #1)

I promise to sanctify mind and thought –
I promise to live the good words I’m taught –
I promise to lift a banner of gold –
I’ll represent Virtue – gentle but bold.

I’ll seek to be trustworthy – moral – true –
I’ll try to remember what Christ would do –
I’ll honor commitments so I can be
An angel whose dowry is charity.

The blessings of chastity – clean and pure –
Are manifest – manifold – clear and sure –
Protection from danger – freedom from fear –
Wisdom – not blindness – discernment – to hear

The forthcoming promises dear and real:
The gift to be healed and the gift to heal.
