(Video to be added for this dance)
Lyrics:
How can a young man keep his way pure? By keep it according to Thy Word. With all of my heart I have sought Thee, Do not let me wonder from Thy commandments.
Thy Word, I have treasured in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee. Thy Word, I have treasured in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee.
that I might not sin against Thee. that I might not sin against Thee.
Thy Words were found and I ate them, And Thy Words became for me a joy and a delight of my heart. For I have been called by Your Name, O LORD God of Hosts.
