It sounds so sweet, So comforting, To say the words you love. So cheerful yet misunderstood, That "you just need to love." The road is straight and narrow. They don’t all lead you Home. We’re in a fight With just two sides, And there’s no time to roam. The sword cuts both directions And I fear that you are dead. You love the world, smile at life, And keep your family fed... But works will get you nowhere, And love is God alone... You need His understanding, Please do not lean on Your own. - And so it was that time stood still - |

(big hugggssssssss) The sword DOES cut both directions indeed, I am speaking for all the believers of the world when He truly had to endure far more than that in being crucified and how He knows how we all feel and only wants us to understand love so we don't have to fall upon that sacrifice from ourselves! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is very powerful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Alyssa, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

"But works will get you nowhere, And love is God alone... You need His understanding, Please do not lean on Your own." Excellent! To love is to (truly) live, but if we try and love on our own strength, we often head down the wrong road... ~EL Campeador “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

EL Campeador, thanks for replying. ..I agree but think if we try to do it on our own then we ALWAYS head down the wrong road! Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |
