There Has Never Been a Better Time

There has never been a better time
To live on earth than this
Nor a finer generation to find
So filled with Christ's light for witness

Having made choices which qualify
For the gift of the Holy Ghost
Among us are those who exemplify
Attributes that shine the most

"Having been called out of darkness
Into His marvellous light"
Challenges are at their highest
As opportunities reach new heights

Forming a high standard for the nation
With light shining from higher ground
There is hope and dedication
Where the gospel light is found

Welcoming life to embrace
As a gift to enjoy
Purity lights up a face
With goodness and joy

It Shows in Your Face

1 Peter 2:9
Ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
an holy nation,
a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of Him
who hath called you out of darkness
into His marvellous light
