\n

In this world we’ll always have troubles and tribulations. Those things come unexpected.
\nSo it happened this morning.
\nAnd i found comfort in the chorus of this lovely song:
\n“Near the Cross”<\/p>\n

chorus:
\nNear the Cross
\nNear the Cross
\nBe my glory ever
\nTill my raptured soul shall find,
\nrest beyond the river<\/p>\n

What a great blessing; simple song with nice lyric\u00a0\"\"
\nGood reminder of what this life is all about.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
