A Word of Wisdom

Alina Marie Miles 1975 (Minnesota)



Never did I think I'd love so much,
The one whom I feel his spiritual touch ....
I again remember from the beginning.
Heavenly love, I know how to keep from sinning
He's in my touch, oh Lord I can't begin to describe
Or tell u, but oh how I missed u, I missed you so much.
I don't understand or comprehend.... Why so many deny You and have no hand to lend.... For without you there is nothing, nowhere, no-one, not even pretend..
They see your miracles they hear your word
Yet, they make of us a mockery, call us absurd...
Nevermind it doesn't matter..
They can continue to chase the mad hatter... Fools, they can have their silver and gold, sinners and so forth, their very souls they have sold..
Lonely and old they are destined to die.
While God lifts us up with a heavenly sigh ..
Grace, a heavenly rejoice a, glorious cry...
It makes me wonder why one would simply chose to die.
So recapture your childhood, embrace God....
And once again be the apple of adam in our fathers' eye...
