RELIGION Poem: Truth in you, by Daphne Tyl

These youth are the future,the only right future.
Because they believe in you, because they believe in the truth.
As your power works through their bodies and minds,
all other feelings subside.

As you have saved, as you have healed, we will kneel,
kneel to the sky,
and cry out your name in glory.
With no shame or guilt.
Only the sturdy temple you’ve built,
a temple of hope and determination.

Praying away all wrongs,
as you died on that cross in return for our sins.
All of the victories you have won on behalf of us.
When you-my god are the true creator, the true maker of everything.
The great miracles you create.
Day by day.
Hour by hour.
Minute by minute.
Second by second.
We will no longer be reluctant, to explore the truth, to explore more of you.
And never stop faithfully following because we were made for you.
And for you we will serve, your message we’ll preserve.

For we constantly learn,
oh God how much we want you, how much we crave you.
As you cast away temptation, our faith shall never be taken,
not from us, not for granted, and not for the souls of a dying world.

May this town be blessed, blessed with the Holy Spirit my Lord.
Blessed as you hear them roar, roar a song of prayers.
Like a raging River-unstoppable,
only controlled by the almighty.
As their spirits light up and their lives’ change,
and their hope finally stays.
Coming from you the source,
the source of it all.
Making sure none of your children fall.
Calling them to their purpose, to the father of their nurture.
Only one in this room who is deserving, and that is you.
My lord, my savior,my truth
