Dimly lit, the darkest night,Is the light of truth inside?Masqueraders all around,Many turned now into clowns. Charlatans now lead the sheepWho are falling fast asleep.Nill endeavor truth to find,They are very truly blind. Many hardened hearts to truthThey live wicked lives, uncouth.Masquerade as righteousness,But they live in wickedness. Foolish hearts turn to their sin,High on … Continue reading The Darkest Night

Hymn lyrics by James Rowe, 1912Music by Howard E.

All my heart to Him I give, ever to … Continue reading Love Lifted Me

Light and Fluffy
Light and fluffy, they are feedingWhat the people think they’re needing.Feel good messages are their shelter,But now they are helter-skelter.

Religious practice is their cover.Sinful lifestyles, they’re not over.Godless idols are their lover.Righteousness is not their mover. Wickedness is what is leading,While they go on now deceiving,And the lies they’re now believing.And … Continue reading Light the Candles
