Study Room Guidelines

Ok it isn't so quiet in here but our resident librarian will ensure that there is good discussion on literature, prose, poetry, etc. You may also post sermons, notes, and the like as long as it is not copyrighted material and within reason of the post length regulation.

We encourage you to take a lose look at the threads and offer honest and useful input. This forum is a place where we discuss literature of any media, as well as personal creations by some of our own wordsmiths. Debate is encouraged, but we often find ourselves relaxing here.

    A Young Man’s Soul

    When unseen forces press upon a young man’s soul to find his place
    In something so much grander than his daily wants and woes,
    What foolish quests and sophistries will the world place in his way
    And how can we direct him to a far more worthy goal?

    With stories and examples that inflame his spirit’s noblest fires
    Of faithfulness and prudence, vitality and craft,
    Courage and discernment, love that wades through mire,
    Of fortitude in service with purity of heart

    To the One who loves us more than we can ever know
    Who invites our souls to soar above the vile flow
    Of sewage that this world pretends is culture, virtue, truth;
    But really serves the foulest ends and drains away their youth.

    He heals our deepest scars of shame and cleanses us of sin
    Burns off our dross, shares in our pain, and asks to be let in
    That we may tread the narrow way and scale the holy hill;
    To bask in bright refreshing day and find our rest until

    We’re called to fight beside Him and destroy the Devil’s hordes
    Renew what does delight Him and find our great reward
    That all might see true justice done, infused with mercy grand;
    The cruellest tyrants casted down, the humble asked to stand

    And look upon the One who gave himself for one and all
    Hung upon a brutal cross and given bitter gall
    That we might know the joy that He gave up for our own sake
    And share in the great glory that was His alone to take

    He knows us yet still fills these jars of clay with treasure lavishly
    And has prepared above the stars a place in His great family.
    Where all our virtues are perfected, our sins are washed away,
    All is seen with new perspective, and we are here to stay.
