I Never Felt Such Love in My Soul Before
Language: English
I never felt such love in my soul before. All the days of my life, ever since I was born, I never felt such love in my soul before. I never heard a man speak like this man before. All the days of my life, ever since I was born, I never heard a man speak like this man before. The people loved him. Crowds followed him. He was clothed with honors. But, far off; far off came Rumors of evil; Shadows of trouble. “There ariseth a little cloud Out of the sea, like a man’s hand.” But this man knew in whom He had Believed. In quietness and confidence He spoke to his God.
