This song was composed by my late father in-law Gerry Mc Farlane. We are playing it at the Requiem. It is something of a religious song but also contains personal stuff.
Faith, Hope and Charity
Blest with health – a little wealth
Fine family – loving wife
Sitting there in a room that’s bare
Sad and lonely life
Hope in man that he will change
Faith in God that he’ll arrange
Love to fill the hearts of every man
Faith, hope and charity
And the greater of the three is love.
Sitting by your fireside
Sipping on your Martini Dry
Thinking of all the things you would like to buy
By an ailing mother’s side
Watching life slowly passing by
Wiping every tear in every cry
Faith, hope and charity
And the greater of the three is love.
Words and music by Gerry McFarlane
