Notes

Shared Note	One of Ben's many poems: God Is Love A bell isn't a bell until it is rung, A song isn't a song until it is sung. Love isn't love till you give it away, A prayer isn't a prayer until it is prayed. Give Jesus your heart this very day, And all of your sins will be taken away. As far as the east is from the west, He will give you a new life with eternal rest. After you have been born again, And are free from all your sin. In this new life you'll want to tell, How living for Jesus rings the bell. I'm looking forward to his coming day, And hope it will be right away. But I'll occupy till I see His blessed face, At the end of this Christian race.
