till Death its message sends.
They built a country... fought its wars,
giving everything...

And we cleave with benediction
To each Word arr Saviour said.
This is Church
Mind not the dampness

In this shallow world, I search for character, but none to be found.
Through me spyglass, a foggy, distant world, unclear,
This incessant devil bird squawking in me ear.
A chest full of silver, gold, and jewels galore,
But what I treasure...

Illumination like the sun
Transforms the...
