What You Are - Shows on Your Face

[Denise Bethea]

You don't have to tellHow you live each day;You don't have to tellIf you work or play.For a tried and true barometerRight in its place,However you live, friend,It will show in your face;The false, the deceit that youCarry in your heartWon't stay down insideWhere it first got its start:For sinew and bloodAre a thin veil of lace.What you carry in your heartWill show in your face.Now, if you dissipate nightstill the day is most nigh,There is only one tellerand one that won't lie.Since your facial barometerIs right in its place,However you live, my friend,It will show in your face.Then, if your life is unselfishand for others you live,Not for just what you can get,But for what you can give,And if you live close to GodIn His Infinite Grace. . . .You won't have to tell it,It will show in your face.
