Cloud-Cover
Therefore, since we are surrounded by
so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also
lay aside every weight… –-Hebrews 12:1
Earth it shifts, where
Saints have trod,
gentility donned
as harshness shod.
Tis by footprints that
I see my God.
Earth it shifts
where Saints have trod.
Saints have trod,
gentility donned
as harshness shod.
Tis by footprints that
I see my God.
Earth it shifts
where Saints have trod.
