You Alone are Righteous, Lord!
Based upon Galatians 5:22-23

Love and joy is mine each day,
At least that’s the proper thing to say.
Oh yes, goodness, peace, self-control
I really don’t want to sound too droll.

Gentleness and faithfulness
A little harder I must confess.
Kindness and long suffering,
These are much harder an offering.

What? You want me to be true?
I cannot just stretch a little too?
Simply to my Lord I fall.
His love for me overshadows all.

God by highest heav’n adored
Forgiveness I have deeply implored.
You alone are righteous, Lord.
For myself I cannot say a word!
