Verse 1: When we look at our lives, are they as good as they could be?
Or are we just good enough to get by?
God sees us as we are, and He wants us to work with Him.
Against self we must fight. (Chorus)
We can’t do anything without God on our side.
We can’t give what we don’t have, so let’s cherish the light.
Chorus: We must fight for the right, for the glory of the truth,
Till we win; but let’s begin while we’re still in our youth.
Verse 2: We’ve been placed in this world, and we are here for a purpose.
For whom are we living our daily lives?
Our talents and our time have been lent us. We’re not our own.
We’ve been bought with a price. (Chorus)
Father, put a desire in our hearts, Lord, for You.
May we burn just like a fire, on the candle of truth.
Verse 3: There are souls all around who are sin-sick and dying,
And we hold the medicine in our hands.
Will we open up our hearts, and accept the healing balm?
We must take and impart. (Chorus)
Will we place all our trust in our Father above?
Will we give Him our hearts that we might spread His love?
Verse 4: If there’s one thing we need, it is an indwelling Savior,
But who of us really knows what that means?
We must seek Him, then we’ll know, if we seek Him with all our hearts.
Then we’ll work, where we are.
BRIDGE: We the youth, champions of truth,
Have a work to do for our loving Master. Why wait till we’re older?
Put the cross on your shoulder. (Chorus)
If we give Him our will, leave our comfort zone behind,
We can’t lose anything good, if we’re on Jesus’ side.
