Hold Onto Your Dreams....
There's a voice that calls to some of us
From somewhere deep inside
A voice that will not give us peace,
Until at least we've tried
To catch that bright elusive star,
Though foolish it may seem
To those not driven as we are
To Hold Onto Your Dreams.
It's not just thoughts of fame or wealth
That keep us holding on
When others would have given up,
When all but hope is gone.
When sometimes even hope grows dim
And casts its faintest beam,
We wonder if it's worth it all
To Hold Onto Your Dreams.
And then that voice inside of us
That others cannot know
Tells us that our chance will come,
That we must not let go.
If we can only persevere
Someday our star till gleam!
And they'll know why you had to try
To Hold Onto Your Dreams.

O LORD GOD, TO WHOM VENGENCE BELONGS- O GOD, TO WHOM VENGENCE BELONGS, SHINE FORTH! RISE UP, O JUDGE OF THE EARTH; RENDER PUNISHMENT TO THE PROUD. LORD, HOW LONG WILL THE WICKED, HOW LONG WILL THE WICKED TRIUMPH?
THEY UTTER SPEACH, ''AND'' SPEAK INSOLENT THINGS; ALL THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY BOAST IN THEMSELVES. THEY BREAK IN PIECES, YOUR PEOPLE, O LORD, AND AFFLICT YOUR HERITAGE. THEY SLAY THE WIDOW AND THE STRANGER, AND MURDER THE FATHERLESS. YET THEY SAY, "THE LORD DOES NOT SEE, NOR DOES THE GOD OF JACOB UNDERSTAND."
UNDERSTAND, YOU SENSELESS AMONG THE PEOPLE; AND YOU FOOLS, WHEN WILL YOU BE WISE? HE WHO PLANTED THE EAR, SHALL HE NOT HEAR? HE WHO FORMED THE EYE, SHALL HE NOT SEE? HE WHO INSTRUCTS THE NATIONS, SHALL HE NOT CORRECT, HE, WHO TEACHES MAN KNOWLEDGE? THE LORD KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF MAN, THEY ARE FUTILE.
BLESSED IS THE MAN, WHOM YOU INSTRUCT, O LORD, AND TEACH OUT OF YOUR LAW, THAT YOU MAY GIVE HIM REST FROM THE DAYS OF ADVERSITY, UNTIL THE PIT IS DUG FOR THE WICKED. FOR THE LORD, WILL NOT CAST OFF HIS PEOPLE, NOR WILL HE FORSAKE HIS INHERITANCE. BUT JUDGEMENT WILL RETURN TO THE RIGHTEOUS, AND ALL THE UPRIGHT IN HEART WILL FOLLOW IT.
WHO WILL RISE UP FOR ME AGAINST THE EVILDOERS? WHO WILL STAND UP FOR ME AGAINST THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY? UNLESS THE LORD HAD BEEN MY HELP, MY SOUL WOULD SOON HAVE SETTLED IN SILENCE. IF I SAY, "MY FOOT SLIPS," YOUR MERCY, O LORD, WILL HOLD ME UP. IN THE MULTITUDE OF MY ANXIETIES WITHIN ME, YOUR COMFORT DELIGHTS MY SOUL.
SHALL THE THRONE OF INIQUITY, WHICH DEVISES EVIL BY LAW, HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU? THEY GATHER TOGETHER AGAINST THE LIFE OF THE RIGHTEOUS, AND CONDEMN INNOCENT BLOOD. BUT THE LORD, HAS BEEN MY DEFENSE, AND MY GOD, THE ROCK OF MY REFUGE. HE HAS BROUGHT O
