Long ago, there ruled in Persia a wise and good king. He loved his people. He wanted to know how they lived. He wanted to know about their hardships. Often he dressed in the clothes of a working man or a beggar, and went to the homes of the poor. No one whom he visited thought that he was their

A place, we know not where;
Which marks the destiny of men
To glory or despair.
There is a line, by us

that’s when I call His name

to a place within His presence

that’s where I long to be
for when I’m at His
