UNDER HIS RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT

(And believe this,brother,there is noother)

BECAUSE ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS

As I stood on the street cornerwatching each of you pass by,I sensed the true unity of mankind.

Don't play around with error.

In the gentler-than-snowfall silence,in the spaceless room,radiant with joy, beauty, power,comes the wordless presence,"Lo, I am with you alway.

REASSURANCE

"Blessed are your eyes, for they see,"see God—see good.
