Preparing for the call of the Lord
and looking forward
to being committed
Like Daniel who submitted.
Learn all you can,
get on a plan,
work with distinction,
like it’s a mission.
Having knowledge
Is not always from college
but from the Lord
giving the ultimate award.
Handling peer pressure
we need a refresher.
remember Christ is the example
and the enemy we trample.
Take care of the body and mind;
then become aligned;
start to imagine;
that good things will happen.
Be led to the cross;
know the boss;
remember what’s been done
by God’s only Son.
Be disciplined,
and interested,
don’t give in,
but win.
Do what God wants;
forget the taunts;
seek the good way of life
without any strife.
Be smart,
take part,
surrender all,
and accept the call.
