Let your light shine, a trembling flame,
Not for glory, not for fame—
But softly through the velvet night,
A witness to your inner sight.
The stars, they glimmer far and wide,
Yet humbly serve as you were told,
No trumpet blares, no banner flies,
Still, their glow redeems the skies.
Oh, simple lamp in my window frame,
Not seeking praise, nor calling name,
Its glow spills warmth upon the home,
Where weary hearts the humble meet.
So let your deeds, be pure and bright,
Kindle love where the blind have sight.
Not for pride or polished gold,
But to touch and heal, to soothe there pain.
Thus they see, and lift their eyes,
And praise his son that never died.

Traitorous tinges were seen in Levi. Did he love Rome?
Could patriots ever bear their disloyal citizens?
As a tax collector, he's a stranger to his own home.
Amidst selfish motives, Matthew had his magnificence.
Guilt boiled in his mind, like the blood of a lamb in an urn.
He heaped mammon, like hills and mountains, in every corner.
Though, like ice, he looked cool, within, like a kiln, he did burn.
Is wealth alone enough? Shouldn't he have human honor?
Jesus called him. Like a dog that found the bone, he followed
When a magnet pulls, does a rusted rod dare to resist?
He felt, as though by a celestial power, he'd controlled
Before Jesus, he felt, as though nothing seemed to exist.
When Jesus diagnosed his illness, Matthew felt at ease.
Struggling through a desert for long, he found an oasis.

Curly, brown hair and glasses on
Came upon Mathews good hum
Barely had leed, never had greed,
Thus little legs replace broken pegs
Both of his ears can hear coming spears,
Whereas he never went away from my really
Brilliant day
Continued to draw and paste, when he acted
With real haste
I never dared to plea, cause I see beneath
Me, Mathews great presence made everlasting
Sense

A child who had no name
Was killed before he was born
His cell from his kidneys was torn
Cloned and named HEK293
Those cells they use to satisfy you and me
They use it in processes to make vaccines
And process for artificial flavors obscene
He had no name as from his mother he was torn
And until now has not been officially mourned
I gave him his name so all will remember
This was a real child that science dismembered
So people can be vain
And glutony can rein

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be
added unto you...
We are precious to God, though I don't really know why
He knows the numbers of hairs on our head
the numbers of birds in the trees
We are more precious to Him than the birds
Jesus wants us to seek Him and His righteousness
Where he can bless us unending through out our life
Forever pleasures He will bestow if we seek Him first!

Praise God, Praise Jesus
praise the Holy spirit, praise the Trinity
Holy is His name
Your return is desired and requested,
to this sinful world.
Father your will I pray on the USA,
my life, my heart and may my desires be your desires.
Give us our physical needs, daily.
forgive my sin and lead me and my house to overcome.
Delete the evil one.
You are the only God, only Power.
Have dominion in my life.
Praise holy Jesus for our daily needs and safety.
Thank you Jesus.
