CAUTION! Non-exposure to the Son will cause burning.

My life goes on in endless song
• Above earth's lamentations,
• I hear the real, though far-off hymn
• That hails a new creation.

• Through all the tumult and the strife
• I hear it's music ringing,
• It sounds an echo in my soul.
• How can I keep from singing?

• While though the tempest loudly roars,
• I hear the truth, it liveth.
• And though the darkness 'round me close,
• Songs in the night it giveth.

• No storm can shake my inmost calm,
• While to that rock I'm clinging.
• Since love is lord of heaven and earth
• How can I keep from singing?

• When tyrants tremble in their fear
• And hear their death knell ringing,
• When friends rejoice both far and near
• How can I keep from singing?

• In prison cell and dungeon vile
• Our thoughts to them are winging,
• When friends by shame are undefiled
• How can I keep from singing?
• Eva Cassidy, How Can I Keep From Singing


There is a net of love by which you can catch souls. - Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
     In Martin H. Manser's _The Westminister Collection
       of Christian Quotations_ [2001], "Evangelism")

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or
tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of
being unwanted, uncared for and
deserted by everybody.
     --Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
      _The Observer_ [October 3, 1971]

If you are humble, nothing will touch you, neither
praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.
     --Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
      (In Martin H. Manser's _The Westminister Collection
       of Christian Quotations_ [2001], "Humility")

I see God in every human being.  When I wash the
leper's wounds I feel I am nursing the Lord himself.
     --Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
