He is a good friend of mine who speaks well of me behind my back
I am a senior citizen but please don't call me elderly!!
I live in a suburb that is north of Detroit.
Jesus, and shall it ever be,
a mortal man ashamed of Thee?
Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise
Whose glories shine through endless days?
Don't be so busy doing good that you neglect to do what is right.
