The Better Part

If I could send a blessing

     A kind that's rare and new

I think I'd choose contentment

     To send along to you.

Because it's fine and precious...

     'Tis not a gift of mine...

But one of intrinsic value

     From the Giver of Gifts Divine.

I'd like to light the candles

     To shine within your heart;

As day by day you trust and serve

     And learn the better part.
