Warning… Before You Had A Banner
I spoke before your schools were built,Before your boards were named;Before men gathered into campsAnd called their own acclaimed.My pages told of Christ the Lord,His cross, His empty grave;I sent you out to preach His name—For He alone can save.You ask a man who taught him first,Whose fellowship he claims;You search his past for trusted … Continue reading Warning… Before You Had A Banner

He Is With Me
God is always with us even when sometimes we feel like we're walking alone. He Is With Me As I walk alone today,I look up to the sky.A beautifully spread canvas,fills my watchful eyes. Pushing through the pain,with every step I take.Looking up to you Lord,I know I'm no mistake. The adversary tries to stop … Continue reading He Is With Me
