Good one

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)



Only one is good.
It's Him we all must face.

And all those that reject Him,
Must suffer their disgrace.

He will have mercy,
In Him you can trust.

The power and the glory,
Was never meant for us.

Don't trust in another,
They will all fall short.

When goodness is discovered,
You'll steer a steady coarse.

In rejection of the world,
A new world can evolve,

A world that needs no sun or moon,
In a city paved with gold.
