Our Church, The Jewel

The Beauty of a Jewel of a church
Bringing us together with our fore fathers
The Memory of a rich
Desire to hold
What is really valuable in the end
What value is a human
If he hath no history
Esteemed and steeped in timeless rituals
A Remembrence of
what was, and still is
A time traveled
lived again and again
Where does thou wander
But in the soul of one's tradition
One's richness
Value and honoring thy God
In the most poetic manner
The iconic sound of A song
Permeates the depths of one's inner soul
Traversing the whole body
As nourishing as
The water of life

In Our Travels
The Pathways
The Mystery That Unravels

The Wonders Unseen
The Beauty to Wander
An Incessant Dream

The Smell, The Air
The Fabulous Aromas
The Mystical Flair

The People, Places

The Inspiration

A King Was Born
The World Was Shown
Pure Was His Life
To All A Sacrifice

Lifted The Hearts
Of All Torn Apart
So That This Day
This Eve We Pray

In this Season
The Only Reason
A Gift Onto Mankind
A Star That Shined

Christmas To One
The Only One
The Lord’s Grace
Upon That Face.

History Of Truth

A Die is Cast
A Mirror into the Past
A Reflection of Truth
From A Tireless Sleuth

Whatever the present
Revealed As Heaven Sent
Whatever Was Done
No Escape For Some

True History Tells
The Knowledge It Quells
Old Lies Can Wonder
Their Lives, So Somber

The Ray of Hope
Ones that Cannot Cope
The Mirror into the Past
Truth, As An Ever Last
