How Can A Young Man (ICD Dance Choreograph & Lyrics)

(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.
