If We Try

(Written with the Sunday School Classes
at Trinity United Church of Christ, Rome, NY)

If we try, we can make this world a better place.
If we try, we can make heaven on earth.
If we try, we can make this world a better place.
If we try, if we try, you and I.

Share our love, lend a hand and help to build a home.
Share our love, give a big hug and a smile.
Share our love, buy a blanket to keep people warm.
Share our love, share our love, you and I.

Share our time, visit the sick and share our joy with them.
Share our time, serve the hungry show we care.
Share our time, sing a song to a friend who’s feeling sad.
Share our time, share our time, you and I.

Share the Word, through the talents and the gifts we’re given.
Share the Word, share the Good News that we’ve heard.
Share the Word, tell of Jesus and his endless love.
Share the Word, share the Word, you and I.

Let your light shine.
Let it shine.

If we try, we can make this world a better place.
If we try, we can make heaven on earth.
If we try, we can make this world a better place.
If we try, if we try, you and I.
