WALK ALONE <\/p>\n

08-01-2014<\/p>\n

I would rather walk alone,
\nIf it means having the truth,
\nI choose to embrace God’s Word,
\nTho friends go thru the roof.<\/p>\n

And I won’t bow to pressure,
\nOr believe as they believe,
\nI trust in God’s own Spirit,
\nWhat He gives me I receive.<\/p>\n

God’s Word is a sharp sword,
\nIt can cut just like a knife,
\nTo some folks it brings death,
\nBut to others Eternal Life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
