“Why has God given me such magnificent talent?
It is a curse as well as a great blessing! / As I
grew older, I realised that it was much better

/ Help us to recognize your voice, help us
not to be allured by the madness of the
world, so that we may never fall away
from you, O Lord Jesus Christ”, AD
