peace of conscience, peace with God

All her debts were cast on Me,
And she must and shall go free.
All her debts were cast on Me,
And she must and shall go free.

Peace of conscience, peace with God,
We obtain through Jesus’ blood;
Jesus’ blood speaks solid rest;
We believe, and we are blest.
We believe, and we are blest.

Should the law against her roar,
Jesus’ blood still speaks with power,
“All her debts were cast on Me,
And she must and shall go free.
She must and shall go free.

[William Gadsby]

dinner of herbs

"Better is a dinner of herbs where love is
than a fattened ox and hatred with it." 

[Proverbs 15:17]

I wish I was light / I would shine through this tunnel

["Catch Yer Own Train" by The Silver Seas]

weakness with razzle-dazzle rhetoric

"Simple prose is clear prose. And simple prose, if smooth and rhythmical, is readable prose. Let your ideas alone do the impressing. If they look banal to you, there's only one remedy: upgrade them. Don't try to camouflage their weakness with razzle-dazzle rhetoric. You'll razzle-dazzle yourself right into a bog of bull." John R. Trimble, Writing with Style 30 (2d ed. 2000).

[from Garner's Usage Tip's Quote of the Day]

try and try and try to be simple again

But I'm ain't looking for an easy way out

This whole life it's been about

Try and try and try

And try and try and try

To be simple again

[Songs Ohia, "Just Be Simple"]
