Never Give Up, And Know That God Will Always Love You!

You will never find a greater love.
with the alter so full of hope,
You'll come in and find a place;
You'll find Jesus,
in this holy place.
He speaks to you today,
the words a echo from my lips.
In this holy place you are found,
this holy ground you are safe.
So come beautiful souls of life,
come as you are to the sanctuary;
you'll always know his love,
cause Jesus Christ never fades away.

"Something I wrote, and hope yall like it. I wrote this staring out my window one day thinking about all the souls who suffer so much. Thinking if they could only find this holy place they can be happy again."
