A CROWN FAR ABOVE ALL<\/p>\n

In this sad, shallow world of ours,
\nA crown is often given as a prize,
\nSometimes for a woman’s beauty fair,
\nFor above competitors she did rise.<\/p>\n

But there is a Crown far above all,
\nWhich no one on this Earth can give,
\nIt is bestowed by the Almighty God,
\nAnd means for Eternity we shall live.<\/p>\n

This Crown can’t be won on our own,
\nNo matter what we should try to do,
\nIt is given to Believers in Christ,
\nI hope you will accept Him too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
