Salt of the Earth (tune - You're A Grand Old Flag by George Cohan, 1906) (Lyrics based on Matthew 5: 13-25; 6: 1-4) [Verse 1]
            G
You're the world's great light;

            G
you're the salt of the earth

                                       D
Shine your light before men, help them see.

                           G
You're the children of our God above

    A                          D
Now listen these words set you free!

      G
Every law still stands,

        D             G
all our father's commands

       A                    D7
I fulfill them I don't destroy

     G                    D
Just give your love and thoughts to God

        A         D           G
He will give you rewards and joy!
[Verse 2]
            G
You know anger hurts,

         G
harmful words can destroy.

         G                         D
You must quickly repair harms you do.

                             G
Leave your gifts behind, forgiveness find,

      A                       D
Then your gift to God will be true!

       G
Love your enemies,

      D            G
offer prayers for them please.

       A                      D7
Be discreet when you help the poor!

      G              D
Live righteously for God, not men.

           A                D        G
Keep your thoughts and your motives pure!
