As she bathed.
That day...so innocent
A virgin, all agreed. 

Our Prince,
He rode...

DON'T BLAME GOD
Why is there sin and suffering
In this world today,
If the creator is a loving God?
You hear your neighbor say.

The sun still shines and water falls,
But from a cloudy sky.
And storms will come

Thank You for the Mustard Seed

My father gave me a mustard seed
Entombed in a crystal sphere.
It hung from a chain around my neck
As a promise of rescue when I felt fear.

No threat had they
Ever seen like Gundar Nills,

Must be protected.
The last of their men
Must endure....

So it...
