The Next Graduation
For your accomplishments we applaud you and give congratulations; now I encourage you move forward to your next graduation
Take some time to celebrate even have a little fun; just keep in mind the work is not over it has really just begun
You must take charge of your life giving it the greatest consideration; so that you can be the master of all future graduations
You've finally graduated you may ask what does that really mean; this is a metaphor keep your own diapers clean
All of the childhood issues that you put your parents through; from this day forward they start to belong to you
Prior to this event your parents owned the results; that is no longer the case because now you're officially adults
This graduation has really changed the game; if you want to call the shots put all of your bills in your own name
Continuing your formal education maybe the option that you choose; stay focused college is not high school it'll have you singing the blues
Don't just get a job build yourself a career; establish your own knowledge base and don't believe everything you hear
As you make your decisions keep proverbs in mind; trust and acknowledge God first in everything and his blessing you will find
To avoid getting in a marriage which will leave you spiritually broke; stay away from anyone in which you're unequally yoked
Find yourself in the lord before you seek a mate; if the spirit of the lord does not ordain it then you'd better wait
Seek first the kingdom of the lord and his righteousness; if you follow this advice you'll definitely suffer and worry less
For your final graduation you don't want to escape his capture; a lifetime of blessed captivity and then there's the rapture
As you go through life with each new graduation; stand boldly for the kingdom of the lord in this and every nation
I say congratulations at the risk of being premature; I trust that you will hold fast to your faith and make your calling sure
You should strive to not be a part of a lost generation; by seeking your degree in the world's spiritual rejuvenation
As you graduate in the spirit you will give praise and make boast; because it's God who'll elevate you in the things that mean the most
Let the joy of the lord be your greatest motivation; daily stirring up your gift this can redefine how you feel about any graduation
I beseech you to elevate your spiritual mind; pressing toward the mark of a higher calling leaving your childish ways behind
Do not conform to this world but continue your transformation; so that you can take the lead in the rebirth of your Christian generation
As you move up in the world always focus on drawing closer to Christ; never follow unsound doctrine but rather the scriptures sound advice
Always follow the righteous path staying on the righteous course; so you can be witness to others of a righteous source
Graduate in peace, faith, hope, joy and love; but most of all let the sources of your next graduations come from God above
