Sylvia has written a new country song entitled "Fervent Prayer" on the best of Magic Key '98 which just released worldwide. She hopes it will awaken a prayer revival all over the world. "Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." 

 

Man of God 

Man of God whose battle is against sin. A soft spoken voice who proclaims the adorning within. 
A high calling from God above delivering a message of power and love. His weapons are the pure word of God. Capturing men's souls upon earth who have trod. His breastplate is faith and love. His helmet is the hope of salvation which is from above. A master in knowledge and a minor in sin. A lover of souls he guides to the end. His investments are in human lives. His accumulations are souls made alive. A profession chosen above all men. Because his father has given him the power to win in the end. 

The Christ, I Am 

I am alpha the word, the christ the beginning. Being is my image mans soul has no ending. I am the resurrection and the life. In my death man is made alive. I have came in the flesh to bring men out of sin. I am the Omega the End. 

Impoverish Child 

A small poverty-stricken girl wearing shabby clothes and unkempt hair. Treasures in heaven was all she bear. Poverty seem to be her destiny in life, but as she grew she struggle to survive. Nine was the age she began to toil. Sunrise to sunset was all. She was taught God's love and never be idle for survival. She remember God's word, through sorrow the heart will be better. Through diligence life began to matter. 
Life had dealt her a bad hand, she remember it's God who giveth wealth to make one stand. 
through prayer and toil riches in life came soon. Poverty was not her doom.
