Looking for My Living Will Not Be In Vain

songinmyheart-

Thank you for posting these lyrics. Since I am female, I will probably change the words a bit and sing "as a Christian ought". In my opinion, a life lived in vain is a wasted life.

Hi Steadfast,

Tennessee Ernie Ford sang it ever so slightly different but here is Glen Payne's rendition:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pCRdNc11NM

If I can help somebody as I go along
If I can cheer somebody with a word or a song
If I can show somebody that is traveling wrong
Then my living shall not be in vain

Chorus
Then my living shall not be in vain
Then my living shall not be in vain
If I can help somebody as I go along
Then my living shall not be in vain
Then my living shall not be in vain

If I can do my duty as a good man ought
If I can bring back beauty to a world that's so wrought
If I can spread love's message as the Master taught
Then my living shall not be in vain

Chorus

Looking for My Living Will Not Be In Vain

This song was sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford, and also by Glen Payne of the Cathedrals. Would like to have the lyrics - makes one stop and think!
