A Beautiful Life
C
Each day I'll do a golden deed
G C
By helping those who are in need
My life on earth is but a span
G C
And so I'll do the best I can.
Chorus:
C F C
Life's evening sun is sinking low
G C G
A few more days and I must go
C F C
To meet the deeds that I have done
G C
Where there will be no setting sun.
To be a child of God each day
My light must shine along the way
I'll sing His praise while the ages roll
And strive to help some troubled soul.
Chorus
The only life that will endure
Is one that's kind and good and pure
And for God, I'll take my stand
Each day I'll lend a helping hand.
Chorus
While going down life's weary road
I'll try to lift some traveller's load
I'll try to turn the night to day
Make flowers bloom along the way.
