INTEGRITY EVERY DAY
How many of us live with true integrity every day?
Do your work to the full, never cheat in any way.
Stay to the path you made up your mind to tread,
Falling away from truth never entering your head.

However hard the way if you have integrity in you,
You’ll strive and never give in until you are through,
You’ll be honoured and trusted by all those you meet,
Your word will be your bond, always fit to greet.

Will never give into temptation however strong,
Never on purpose would you ever do anything wrong,
No bribe would ever be large enough to lead you astray,
For integrity would always show you the right way.

Give me the strength to have integrity through my life,
That however the hard the struggle, however much strife
I will stand strong and true, until my earthly life is through,
That I will be honourable and honest in all the things I do.
