Listen to the words of this poem entitled, "The View." I don't know the author, but the words are striking.
Jesus went upon the mount that day
To begin his ministry.
He gazed across the fertile ground,
And what did he see?
He looked upon the countless faces;
He saw the pain of un-numbered

Repent and Turn
Repent and turn! God calls today;
Oh, do not close thine ear, I pray!
