Advice To Youth

Oh, youth… God has endowed you with vigor and zeal
Enabling you toward worthy achievement seal

Keep on doing your utmost to go, grow, and glow!

Now, youth… enjoy life to the fullest, by God’s grace
Optimize granted days along functional ways
Learn to be well while wisdom’s peace, truthfully gain…
Keep on trusting the Lord; such is never in vain!

Refrain:
Dear youth, you are loved and cared for; you’re not alone
We are praying for you as you leave comfort zone
Though independent, still rely on Scriptures’ guide…
Keep on triumphantly soaring while in God’s will, tied.

Yes, youth… you’re the asset of our grand future’s hope
Fulfilling leadership roles of challenging scope

Keep on cleaving to the Saviour, bearing His light!

So youth, make the best of your precious treasured time
Not regretting about it creates gracious chime
By faith in God, face valiantly trials and strife…
Keep on choosing what’s right; if you fail, just choose life!

Refrain:
Dear youth*, you are loved and cared for; you’re not alone
We are praying for you as you leave comfort zone
Though independent, still rely on Scriptures’ guide…
Keep on triumphantly soaring while in God’s will, tied.

*Ecclesiastes 12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.
