His precious blood removes the dross,The sin, the guilt, the shame,So that he can impress on meHis signature and name. A purpose for this […]

I Hear Your Cry

I Hear Your Cry Dear child of mine, I hear your cry.I know that oft you’d rather die, Dear child of mine, I hear your cry.I know that oft you’d rather die,Than face the scalpels steely touch,That reaches to your inner dust.
