Saints and Sinners - Sinners and Saints

The path to take for all is shown -

saints and sinners; sinners and saints.

God loves us, for we are His own.

The path to take for all is shown.

Since days of old, the truth’s been known.

Though all that’s good the darkness taints,

the path to take for all is shown -

saints and sinners; sinners and saints.

Beautiful flow and solid truth told. A joy to read. Loved the read, love you. I'm okay, just had / having limited days, but not limited Andrea thoughts and prayers. Bear with me. So glad I arrived here tonight ... CayCay
