His hair was like a light.

But here is all aright.)

But here the true hearts are.)

He is our God
We should worship him

Listen to his music
Come from far and wide to worship him
We need to praise God not man
The way of life not death
With us in spirit and truth

THE HEART OF A CHILD
Whatever you write on the heart of a child,
no water can wash away.
The sands may be shifted when billows are wild
and the efforts of time may decay.
Some stories may perish, some songs be forgot,

Think about the differences between a servant and a child:
The servant is accepted and appreciated on the basis of what he does, the child on the basis of who he is.

And make all my fears depart?
Will you lead me safely to Bethlehem
