[036] A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – BLESSED LAMB OF GOD IN ADORATION
This was written as a hymn that can be sung. The emphasis is on the Lord Jesus Christ not so much on us. I hate these modern songs where it is all about “me”. Let us get back to glorifying the Lord for who He is and for what He

[222]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM - PRAISE YE THE LORD
