There is a Bright Line to Cross Over

There is a bright line to cross over
Upon graduation... unto your future
Still... education remains an endeavor
Almost daily, as life is our tutor

Believe in God, and that you will receive
For His Son awaits at a door for your knock
And... be warned- the Spirit does grieve
When, in faithfulness you fail then to walk

Ponder and see how you are linked to God's plan
As our part is not finished till we are done
Our Lord is always ready to take us by the hand
There to help us to endure life's tests and overcome

What you focus on, determines where you'll be led
So learn to repent as you blaze at full speed
For life is a balance of many roles to be fed
And the Holy Ghost can be trusted to lead

It is your senior companion every day
And you don't ever have to feel you're alone
It will help you through whate'er comes your way
As you strive for an eternal family of your own
