a stand in the name of righteous
ness and speak out as the spirit
of God moves you.
Today Jesus is calling the youth
to come forth and prove to the
world that if they but ask it shall
be given and that if they seek in
his precious name they will find
blessing unbound.
God is waiting to put out his
beautiful blessings Of love, peace.
