The temptations of life
Comes now so bold and strong
That the minds of our children struggle
To believe whats right from wrong.
The invitations of life
Cause the hearts of parents to worry and moan
Yet their hope anticipates the freedom day
When their children are all grown.
The imitations of life
Makes it hard for any to discern
Its hard to do the best you can
When who really cares what you've learned.
The reality of life
Springs forth and is not hard to find
For God has designated someone for you
Whose hearts are gentle and kind.
The motive of life
Is to stand regardless of the test
To be prayerful and obedient
And then God will do the rest.
