A Youth in Christ


Murky water of impurities,
Defiled air of many iniquities,
Destructive plague of temptations,
And huge tempest of transgressions.

Burdened by few weaknesses,
Would inner strength still exist?
Disheartened by great failures,
Would hope be able to endure?

With a chaste heart created new,
With a mind purified by the law,
With a soul nourished by God's word,
A youth in Christ stands a conqueror.

That flees from wicked desires and wishes,
And pursues faith, hope and righteousness,
That continues to fulfill a sworn oath,
To keep the holy covenant of the Lord.
