CONSIDER THE LILIES.
So you long to be clothed in splendor;
Regaled, in utter majesty!
Bearing threads, of spun-gold and silver,
Displayed, in High-Society?
You long to gain the coveted favor
Of the nobles and their kings;
To travel, in their circles
And sit, upon their steeds.
You long to yield to the Royal carriage
As you dance at the Royal ball,
But have you, discovered
THE MOST SPLENDID, of them all?
Consider the lilies of the field...
Then consider, the lilies' immaculate beauty;
And why, Jesus Christ was given that name
Because...He's...The Lily of The Valley!
