IF WE COULD
Words and music by Mark Howard Bowles
If we could keep one heart from breaking;
If we could save one wayward soul;
If we could give our love without thinking;
If we could be so bold.
And if we could help the poor and needy
And not so tend our wealth increase;
If we could serve the widows and homeless
And first regard the least.
Chorus:
And if we could keep our mercies secret:
Might only God in heaven know.
May he be pleased and truly bless
Our charity below.
For the heart is weak but the will proves weaker
In matters of a blessed campaign
And some may view it ‘neath our station
And treat us with disdain
Chorus:
But there are riches beyond measure
That quell the hearts of those who give;
And ours will be a lasting pleasure
As we so love and live.
Chorus:
