There your sins are washed away,
And replaced by golden wings,
Oh, think what you’ll enjoy
To hear the heaven’s choir sing.
Isn’t it hard to give
Your heart and soul
For the one you’d die to let live,
When day by day they are growing cold.
MY DAILY PRAYER
Oh, Lord, teach me from day to day
To dwell in the path
Along the righteous way.
Remove my thoughts
Of riches and gold,
For this so many
Have traded their souls.
THE THOUGHT OF A HUSBAND
Each moment you frown
You’re stealing from your life,
And at times you break the heart
Of a dear sweet wife.
One’s greatest fancy is a smile
And love’s brightest way is hope,
Then time’s golden entrance is patience.
Though the years to us may come and go,
But out of my memory ne’er can flow
The ring I gave you that spoke in silence
For you it held you, but for me violence.
A wicked thought is easy bought,
But values nothing in gold.
So read this verse between times,
And let righteousness into your soul.
