Family is a precious commodity today, and our children in our families are faced with such influences in our world, the structure of a godly home is their fighting chance for leading wholesome lives. Despite home teaching however, there are systems in place to teach our children another way, systems like peer pressure, bullying, tv ads, and commercial influences, that are not necessarily wholesome, just to name a few. Godliness preserves family and as we all seek to enrich our lives we must include solid and sound foundations. We must return to the Bible and follow God’s intended way.
Our youth, our sons, and daughters today,
Look to the Savior’s cross to show them the way.
From the right teachings of home, they will not stray,
But will strengthen in wisdom having chosen the way.
The son will stick to his father’s side,
Will learn from him with humble pride.
The daughter will cleave to her mother’s side,
Against her mother’s voice, she will not chide.
To their house and home, they bring no shame,
Upholding honor to their parent’s name.
Finds no pleasure in the influences of the world,
An upright boy, a virtuous girl.
Will help to build a loving home,
a legacy of family, when their parents are gone.
Will never envy a wayward friend,
But will be the one to draw them in.
Not fueled with greed, and filthy speech,
Their conscience guided by the words they speak.
From the reverence of God, they’ll not depart,
To make their parents proud, is their will in heart.
Will grow in love, favor, and grace,
the beauty of salvation upon their face.
Will choose the husband, will choose the wife,
Who will bring grace and favor to a godly life.
These are God’s sons and daughters needed today,
From the straight and narrow they will not stray.
Children are our future to lead the way,
The hope of families in our world to stay.
