Of evil works in league with the devil, I am accused.
Spit upon, bolts tethered in chains, I have been abused.

I've known you for many years,
And I wished to know you more,
For death has closed many doors,
But death hasn't given me such fear.

I know it was hard,
But I just wish you were still back on earth,
I just want that comforting warmth,
But my feelings I will...

New Episcopal Female Bishop

She stood tall while people would applaud;
Her award had been based on love of God,
And Son who from Him one day did shed;
Crucified on cross and to death had bleed.

Prestigious honor upon her was bestowed,
And how great face looked when it glowed;
With...
