Charity Poem by Eva L. Shaw

Faith, Hope and charity,
Faith, hope and charity,
Faith hope and charity,
But the greatest of these is
Charity.

Sometimes our faith is so strong, yes so strong,
He moves mountains out of our way,
But, Paul tells us we will surely fail,
Without charity, yes, charity is Christ.

We all need hope and have it in Him,
He is our hope every day,
But God's Word tells us that
Charity is love,
Yes, charity, charity is love.

We can prophesy, have knowledge and be so wise,
Help the poor with our wealth,
We can be a martyr and bear our load,
But, we need charity for charity never fails.

So, love your neighbour, love your enemy,
Help the despised and be kind,
Sincere love is felt without a word,
We need love for charity is love,
Yes,
Charity, charity is love.
