“O
God, Thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared Thy
wondrous works. Now also when I am old
and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed Thy strength unto this generation, and Thy power to every one that is to come” (Psalm 71:17,18). “Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little
while is the light with you... While ye have light, believe in the light, that
ye may be the children of light” (John 12:35,36).
We
know there’s a torch with a flame to be passed
To
our generation of youth we may reach.
A
little bit longer our torches will last:
It’s
time to invest in these torches we teach!
There’s
so little time, and the need is so great
To
show them the reason we know what is right!
The
days are so precious, the hour is late
In
which we may teach them to walk in the light.
Our
God has equipped us with great revelation
Supported
by prophecies He has fulfilled,
And
now we may pass on to this generation
Foundational
proofs upon which they may build.
The
flame of our torches should never grow dim,
But
rather grow brighter as Christ leads us on,
As
we grow in grace and the knowledge of Him,
Just
as the noon day exceeds early dawn.
O
Lord, grant us strength to pass on to our youth
A
torch that burns brightly with Your Spirit’s flame
That
they may be ready to stand for the truth,
Declaring
the Gospel of Christ without shame.
