What Might Have Been

Then she took up the burden of life again,
Saying only, 'it might have been.'
Alas for them both, and alas for us all,
Who vainly the dreams of youth recall,
For of all sad words of lips or pen,
The saddest are these - 'it might have been.'

     ~ Whittier

A Man's Duty

     "There is one thing, Emma, which a man can always do, if he chooses, and that is, his duty; not by manoeuvring and finessing, but by vigour and resolution."

     ~ Mr. (George) Knightley

The Works of Jesus

     "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."

     ~ John 21:25

Never Walk Alone

Never Walk Alone

Arms stretched out wide

Barely hanging on to life,

Left to suffer on Your own.

You came for all mankind

To bridge the great divide,

And somehow ended up alone.

Because of all the blood and tears You shed

I will never know that kind of loneliness.

Your Spirit never leaves me,

Even when I'm hurting,

I don't have to bear that burden on my own.

You carried all the pain and

Burried all the shame when

You made that rugged tree Your righteous throne.

Because of You I'll never walk alone.

You came here as a man

I know You understand

What it's like to walk these roads.

My problems don't compare

To that crown You had to wear

Still You take them as Your own.

Because of all the blood and tears You shed

I will never know that kind of loneliness.

Your Spirit never leaves me,

Even when I'm hurting,

I don't have to bear that burden on my own.

You carried all the pain and

Burried all the shame when

You made that rugged tree Your righteous throne.

Because of You I'll never walk alone.

You carried all the pain and

Burried all the shame when

You made that rugged tree Your righteous throne.

Because of You I'll never walk alone.

Lord, because of You I'll never walk alone.

I'll never walk alone.

The Christian Founding of America

     "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religion but on the gospel of Jesus Christ."
