Graduation "Poem"

Thanks to Angela for pointing me in the right direction for finding the words to the verse Arlyn read at graduation. It was actually a portion of the song "The Sunrise of Your Smile," by Michael Card.

The words of the portion he read are:

Reject the worldly lie that says,

That life lies always up ahead,

Let power go before control becomes a crust around your soul,

Escape the hunger to possess,

And soul-diminishing success,

This world is full of narrow lives,

I pray by grace your smile survives.

I don't hear Michael Card music very often since my two oldest boys are gone from home.
