Influence
 
Throw a pebble into the lake, and a wave is formed,
And another, and another, and as they increase,
Throw a pebble into the lake, and a wave is formed,
And another, and another, and as they increase
The circle widens until it reaches the very shore.
So with our influence.
Beyond our knowledge or control it tells 
Upon others in blessing or in cursing.
Character is power!
The silent witness of a true, unselfish godly life 
Carries an almost irresistible influence,
The silent witness of a true unselfish godly life 
Carries an almost irresistible influence,
Carries an almost irresistible influence.
