Believe on the Master Jesus the Messiah and you will be saved! (Apostle Paul) #faith #salvation


If I have left since yesterday
And chosen not my vows to pay
The Heavens would’ve screamed and grieved
Once my sword was withdrawn and sheathed

The Devil would’ve laughed and prayed
If I have left since yesterday
Scorning Angels crying over
Shameful reasons no soul abjured

The seeds would wonder day and night
Why holy grounds were much defiled
If I have left since yesterday
And chosen not to love, to stay

But to depart I did not do
For I could see: neither would you
Won’t be as strong as we’re today
If I have left since yesterday
