Backsliding:
Dear Lord! accept a sinful heart,
Which of itself complains,
And mourns, with much and frequent smart,
The evil it contains.

protection from his brothers
"God, keep him safe.
He is so young,
so different from
the others."
Mercifully,
she never knew

and prison too.
Had I been Moses’ mother

It’s for all who will accept Him by grace,
Salvation is
