The Follow Up Talk

After Thanksgiving dinner I escaped for some quiet time and reflected on a song I dreamt about a few months ago. In this dream I or someone else (you know how dreams can be funny and confusing) was singing a song that said, "The power of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and their enemies fall down".  It ended with a series of repeated hallelujahs.

So, I decided to write it. Here are the words to this song I named, "Washed my Robe". Washed My Robe   Verse 1 Here I carry my robe Dirty with holes I heard of this river Clear as cry...
