Young Woman, There Is a Better Way
Young woman, listen to me! Attentively and keenly listen;
To the crucial message of this word, you surely, must hearken.
Young woman, bad company always corrupts good character;
Put away slander and gossip; it is ok, to conceal a matter.
Stop! Stop it! Stop doing it, young woman; stop cussing!
Young woman, it is what comes out of you, that is defiling.
Always work hard; learn skills; take seriously, your education;
Diligent hands surely, bear rule, and usually gains promotion.
There is a better way, young woman; no time for second- best;
You and I both know, Jesus will never, ever give you any less.
Do not let them guys use, miss-use and abuse your pretty body;
You are a precious, valuable temple; Christ is your identity.
Young woman, cherish your purity; preserve your virginity.
It is a God-given gift; to be unwrapped after matrimony.
Beware sister; of the sweet-men, Casanovas and deceivers;
By your daily lifestyle; be, a good example to the believers.
Young woman; yes, I’m talking to you, young woman;
Listen carefully, to this chant from this brother, man.
In singleness; your concern must be on the Lord’s affairs;
On how you will please Him: not on ‘affairs’ and ‘fairs’.
Don’t be fussing and fighting over somebody else’s man;
In God’s time, He will surely give you the right husband.
Be anxious for nothing; God works better than you would;
He will work everything out, in your favour; for your good.
Listen, young woman! Listen, even though I’m not preaching;
As, your brother in Christ; to you, I am responsible, to minister.
Young woman, don’t yield; give no place to the Adversary;
The Way: straight and narrow; is greater, than the enemy.
There is a better way sister; there is a better way, I say…
He is Jesus! He is Jesus! Sister, Jesus, is the better Way.
Christ Jesus; He is the Way; the Truth and the Life;
Be patient; and He will make you, into a virtuous wife.
