11. The World is Watching You

1 Be in earnest ev’ry moment of the day,
Doing deeds of kindness all along your way;
Let the love of Jesus be your guide and stay,
For the world is watching you.

Refrain:
Ev’rywhere you go,
By your living show
That he loves and guides you and makes you strong;
Keep in touch with Jesus as you pass along,
For the world is watching you.

2 Take a word of comfort to the aching heart
Toiling in the vineyard or the busy mart;
Have the courage of your faith to do your part,
For the world is watching you. [Refrain]

3 Have a purpose firm, and never doubt or yield;
Make the word of God your helmet, sword, and shield;
Be a valiant soldier on the battlefield,
For the world is watching you. [Refrain]
