Be Good And Wise
Young people who are wise
obey the laws of the land.
They are honest and true,
they do all the good they can.

It is not easy to be wise and follow
the ways of the Lord these days.
But you can do it if it's within
your heart and a part of your ways.

Goodness can be inside of your
heart if you desire it to be.
If you are godly - more like Christ,
your path of life you will always see.

If you don't care about others, you will
bring shame on yourself, which is sad.
It is easy to fall into a gang of people
who through and through are bad.

So, bring honor to yourself and
to all the ones you love.
Keep God in your heart and let Him
be the One you always first think of.
