Separation from the sinful worldGod's word is clear, a call to segregate
From the world's wicked ways, to separate
Not to befriend the darkness, nor to condone
The sins that shame the Lord, and cause His throne to moan
But many play the...

I'M Still LoveI’M STILL LOVE
Who I am it’s written in glory,
Though crucified by name,
Dreams of now the given story,
I'm still love.
Hung between the two deserving,
Bearing the lies and naked shame,
Though innocent, their sentence I am serving,

Ode To the Faded SpringHeart in melodious mute,
Impressions of my mind fuse,
Eyelids got amazed and pause,
Until you gorgeously passed.
Eloquence of fervid glance,
Plunges in my hollow heart,
Exuberant fragrance danced,
Earth exhibits show so grand.
Lively lives dived into frames,
Divine ink lavishly paint,
Sunny...

When?When?
When will peaceful ways be found?
When will God’s good faith shine down?
When will men erase hate’s frown?
Peaceful men embrace loves’ ground.
Faithful men let God surround.
Respect for all; please, come ‘round.
