"All ye servants of the LORD... Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD. The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee" (Psalm 134:1-3). "A prudent man foreseeth the evil... Train up a child in the way he should go" (Proverbs 22:3,6). "Pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward Him for the life of thy young children" (Lamentations 2:19). "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth" (3 John 4).
We
come into the sanctuary,
As
all around us there is strife,
To
bless the Lord and also carry
Petitions
for our children's life.
The
evil that we have foreseen
Is
now apparent, as expected.
We
need the Lord to intervene
So
that our young may be protected.
Our
land has surely been invaded
By
wickedness that is a threat
To
children who may be persuaded
To
turn from God whom they forget.
Lord,
hear our urgent supplication
From
sanctuaries in each heart
To
guard our children through salvation
With
truth from which they won't depart.
