CARRY GOD'S LIGHT Original Country Gospel Song Lyrics by Alice C. Bateman Canadian Author, Songwriter, Poet & Scriptwriter

CARRY GOD'S LIGHT

CHORUS
Well I carry God's Light with me and I spread it all around
I cannot stand to see a mouth with the corners turning down
If me and God can't make you smile then I don't know who can
If you carried God's Light too my friend you would be a better man

VERSE 1
There are days that make you happy
And days that make you cry
There are days that make you wonder
Is there any reason why

VERSE 2
There are days that make you sing out loud
And days that make you grin
But the days you must watch out for
Are the days that make you sin

CHORUS

Well I carry God's Light with me and I spread it all around
I cannot stand to see a mouth with the corners turning down
If me and God can't make you smile, then I don't know who can
If you carried God's Light too my friend, you would be a better man

VERSE 3
There are times you want to travel
And times to stay at home
But you know He's always with you
Even when you want to roam

VERSE 4
He is always by your side
Whatever you may do
And He's keeping Heaven shining
For one day to welcome you

CHORUS
Well I carry God's Light with me and I spread it all around
I cannot stand to see a face with the corners turning down
If me and God can't make you smile, then I don't know who can
If you carried God's Light too, my friend, you would be a better man

REPRISE
If me and God can't make you smile, then I don't know who can
If you carried God's Light too, my friend, you would be a better man

NOTES: There is music for this, but only a quiet vocal-only demo recording to this date, March 8th, 2010. Alice does not play an instrument or write down music, only the lyrics and often a melody that comes with them in her mind. This song has been retitled from 'BE A BETTER MAN' due to other works with the same or a similar name. CARRY GOD'S LIGHT was written at a time when Alice was meeting and speaking with a great many people, and personally spreading God's Light in her own smiling way.
