Today I Graduate

 

Today, I Graduate

Today is the first day of the rest of my life;

   I can fill it with joy, I can fill it  with strife.

         I can follow the world and do      my own thing,

or follow the Lord, reap the blessings He'll bring.

      No longer a child, I can make    my own way.

I can choose what to do with my life every day.

I'm dependent on God though for the air that I breathe,

for the warmth of the sun, for the health that I need,

for protection from harm as I walk down the street,

for providing strong faith so I won't meet defeat.

He reminds me that all that I have comes from Him

           and He loved me enough to die for my sin.

           He gives me a choice, now I must decide...

as I graduate, will I walk by His side?

Yes, I'll walk the straight path from now to the end,

    trusting completely my Savior,    my Friend.

Thanking Him, praising Him, for all that He's done;

I'm looking ahead...

my future's begun!

 

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart...and he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3:5,6

My future is in the hand of God!
