As the new school year begins its cycle
I expect new fears as Christ's disciple
may I not blaspheme His holy title
By supremely relying on His Holy Bible
For there have been times before that I have been silent
Spoke not about Christ my Lord, but my late assignment
Talked about my studies more than Him Who designed it
Considered the Bible boring; gives no excitement
To compromise I once revised the meaning of cheating
And so my eyes went left and right copy-and-pasting
I told my parents, "More allowance! My need's increasing."
But I went absent just to spend it: shopping or gaming
I've enjoyed green and obscene jokes with folks
And I've seen fiendish scenes in the phones of my blokes
Bent my knees, begging "Please" not to the Lord of Hosts
But to the teachers with whom I had "INC" notes
School crushes in classes confused my thoughts
Until I didn't want to be consumed in God
To see the flashes of her eyes I've longed and sought
That the lashes on my Christ I soon forgot
There are more fears to bear than what I have listed
And I'm here to prepare before I will waste it
Handling with care, as Christ's enlisted,
My testimony. Snares will try to deface it
Now I'm renewed and cleansed from sins
My Lord to You I pray these things:
Conform me to Your face, my King
Reform my foolish ways and whims
I don't want teammates in exams
To prove my faith is not a sham
And if I fail at least I am
A victor over sins at hand
May I use electronic devices
Not for pornographic vices
But show my classmates Who my desire is
To know God's most majestic highness
If my friends frown when I see acts as sinful
I won't turn down my Christian principles
And may they see that I can't be swindled
By Satan's plans for God's hand is truly invincible
I beg You Lord, please reign and bless my life
And may they see in me the radiance of Christ
So they will like to delight in Your light
Then inspire more to fight our fight
This is why then I will go to school
In the eyes of men I will be a fool
Proud about God from the inside out
Making Christ look great is what I'm about
