Beside You

Yet the LORD set his affection 

on your ancestors 

and loved them...

 and he chose you, 

their descendants, 

above all the nations... 

as it is today.

~  Deuteronomy 10

Beware My Love

Beware of turning to evil, 

which you seem to prefer to affliction.

~  Job 36

Soulin'

Love the LORD your GOD 

with all your heart 

and with all your soul 

and with all your strength.

~ Deuteronomy 6

Goochy Bamba

  Let them drink 

and forget their poverty 

and remember their misery no more.

Time We Left This World Today

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body 

but cannot kill the soul. 

Rather, be afraid of The One 

who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

~ Matthew 10

I Used To Say I Love You

 Scorn has broken my heart 

and has left me helpless; 

I looked for sympathy, 

but there was none, 

for comforters, 

but I found none.

~ Psalm 69
 

A Globe Of Frogs

 Then I saw three impure spirits 

that looked like frogs;

 they came out of the mouth 

of the dragon,

 out of the mouth 

of the beast 

and out of the mouth

of the false prophet.

~  Revelation 16

 

From Auschwitz To Ipswich

 This is what the LORD says: 

“Cursed is the one who trusts in man, 

who draws strength from mere flesh 

and whose heart turns away from the LORD"

~ Jeremiah 17

 

6 August 1944
The Lodz Ghetto was liquidated by the Nazis.
60,000 Jews were sent to Auschwitz.  

Lodz-Names: A Record of the 240,000 Inhabitants of the Łódź Ghetto

Not one single soul was saved   
I was ordering an Indian takeaway   
I was spared 

whilst others went to an early grave   
  
Oh, got stoned   
Yeah, went out and got stoned   
  
Well if your ancestors could see you standing there   
They would gaze in wonder at your Frigidaire   
They had to fight just to survive   
So can't you do something with your life?   
  
It's the end:   
Why don't you admit it?   
It's the same from Auschwitz to Ipswich   
Evil comes   
I know from not where   
But if you take a look inside yourself -   
maybe you'll find some in there

The Way Young Lovers Do

My days have passed, 

my plans are shattered.
    Yet the desires of my heart
 turn night into day;
    in the face of the darkness 

light is near.

~ Job 17

Into The Mystic

This is what the Sovereign LORD says: 

I am against your magic charms 

with which you ensnare people like birds

 and I will tear them from your arms;

 I will set free the people 

that you ensnare like birds.

~  Ezekiel 13
