If every time we forgave A bell would ring If every time we spoke the truth, A bell would ring If every time we thanked our God A bell would ring If every time we were sincere A bell would ring If every time we loved each other A bell would ring If every time we shared our love A bell would ring If every time we helped the needy A bell would ring If every time we said our prayers A bell would ring And when the day was over And we asked God for His forgiveness He would ring all the bells in heaven For this soul who heaven won. A Bell Would Ring ~ a poem by George Carroll:
