The truth is in your hands
And now your calling sure,
A long journey awaits
Many challenges to endure.

With knowledge and conscience as your guide
Trust the Spirit who lives inside,
But beware the snare of doubt and fear
That can overwhelm the mind. 

Grab those monsters by the throat
And shake them off your back,
Don’t let them gain a foothold
It’s a subtle, sin attack! 

For you my child, are able to win
Each battle you will face,
With courage, trust and obedience
There is victory by His grace. 

With each and every test, you’ll find
God faithfully brings you through,
Offer Him all the praise and glory
That He is surely due. 

And when your days are over and done
There will be peace of mind,
For you lived a worthy standard
To light the ways of time.
