Just Do It.
_My spirit’s wings shall soar
_Although at times I stray.
When I’m downcast… when life’s storms blast…
_I gaze upward and pray.
_Fed up with sin and war…
_Outside, inside my mind.
I do not know where I should go.
_What task have You assigned?
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
When You appear on stormy clouds…
With lightning flash and thunder cloud,
_Who could deny You are?
But until then, You are unseen.
Billions still claim, just myth and dream.
_You are the Morning Star.
