Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now am found Was blind but now I see He is on the run Aimlessly going, No time to listen to the horn and drum, Down through darkness into the unknowing. He is on the run Chased by the too real, Yes the authorities will surely come, The apprehension his soul deeply feels. He is on the run And must find a hole, To crawl into before the new day sun. Before his evil makes him pay the toll. Down an alleyway, In an unlocked door, Finds a getaway Never used before, Basement hideaway But not of some store, Upstairs is a house of faith now praying Although he can not hear what their saying. Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far And grace will lead me home Psalms 23 1: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2: He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3: He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5: Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Serendipity comes to mind... always a pleasure to read which path your mind walked, Professor. |

"Upstairs is a house of faith now praying Although he can not hear what their saying." You weave with percision...  "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
