According to the Dictionary's website, the word is "an adjective defined as 'relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts ...read more

OPEN: I love to sing, and one of my favorite Hymns is “Oh How I love Jesus”. Sing it with me now if you would: 1. There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth; It sounds like music in my ear, the sweetest name on earth. CHORUS: O, how I love Jesus, O, how I love Jesus, O, how I love ...read more
