Climb the highest mountain
Touch the highest star
No-matter where we go
There you are.
Abel, Seth, Noah too
Abraham, Isaac,
Elijah and Jeremiah
Are just a few who lived
In your
Holy love, Holy love.
By your mighty power
Kingdoms fell, closed the
Mouths of lions, extinguished
Raging fires, victory
Over the father of liars
By your
Holy love, Holy love.
Mocked, chained
Imprisoned, sawn in two
All died for the love of you
In your
Holy love, Holy love.
God became man as the
Devil fell, a mighty fight
Between heaven and hell
Jesus on the cross was
The devils loss
For
Holy love, Holy love.
The devils mockery
Jesus resurrected
Victory!
Jesus in our heart
Never to depart
Make a brand new start
Power to thwart
Every fiery dart
With His Holy love.

I bid you love and peace. Jon Michael

This sounds like a jolly, catholic primary school clapping song to me... thinking how catechism and doctrine are so ingrained and learned from an early age. Hey... you could introduce it as a Credo for Kids! A very palatable way to imbibe beautiful truths.... And you call me a Happy Clappy???!!!! :)) xx
This is amazingly "in cohesion" with the themes that our choir is preparing for the Christmas concerts since we are presenting Handel's "The Messiah." Thank you for sharing, Andy. Love and peace to you,
Still Living on my Feet is the follow up to Tichaona Chinyelu’s first book, In the Whirlwind, which was rooted in a sense of hard-hitting revolutionary black love. However, in this sophomore effort, Tichaona brings the revolutionary essence from deep
