Long before this life began
Upon the streets of gold you ran.
Your valiant soul was saved for last
For with the Son your lot was cast.
The shield you wear is not of earth
It is from He who gave you worth.
To be kept safe it must be worn
Not brushed aside with scoffs and scorn.
The enemy attacks all sides
He feeds upon our natural prides.
You can choose to heed him not
He only wants for you to rot.
You are the chosen youth today
Your courage gives us strength to stay.
Do not doubt nor do not fear
Your mission on this earth is clear.
The battle lines can be quite gray
Our Lord from us will never stray.
Stay true to what you have been taught
You’ll win the war that you have fought.
The only thing worth fighting for
Your Father gave you long before.
To make a choice was his great gift
That his Son may all uplift.
So if you wonder why you’re here
Remember you’re his child so dear.
He’s always by your side each day
You will feel that as you pray.
It’s not by chance that you chose me
You taught me much that I may see.
I’ll praise you all forever more
You helped me reach God’s golden shore.
