It takes a heap o' livin' in a house t' make it home

You when the storm is raging - how do you face despair? It is you that the world discovers, whatever the clothes you wear.

Lord, this humble house we'd keep Sweet with play and calm with sleep. Help us so that we may give Beauty to the lives we live. Let Thy love and let Thy grace Shine upon our dwelling place.

The world is no longer closed to us in the way it was in the past - present generations have unparalleled access to pretty much all corners of the globe.

Be a friend. You don't need glory. Friendship is a simple story.

But keep on working and hoping still. For in spite of the grumblers who stand about, somehow, it seems, all things work out.

I have to live with myself and so, I want to be fit for myself to know.
