about

Words taken from 'Sensitiveness', a poem by Blessed John Henry Newman.

lyrics

Time was, I shrank from what was right,
From fear of what was wrong;
I would not brave the sacred fight,
Because the foe was strong.
But now I cast that finer sense
And sorer shame aside;
Such dread of sin was indolence,
Such aim at heaven was pride.
So, when my Saviour calls, I rise,
And calmly do my best;
Leaving to Him, with silent eyes
Of hope and fear, the rest.
I step, I mount where He has led;
Men count my haltings o’er;—
I know them; yet, though self I dread,
I love his precept more.

MrWalton Lancashire, UK

Having retired early from a long career as a pioneering astronaut, amateur porridge-eater Mr Walton now spends most of his time organising tins of soup in the pantry of his Lancashire home, but, from time-to-time, he uploads something to Bandcamp, often of a musical or educational nature; this is the product of such uploadery.

Mr Walton's motto is, "I don't have a motto." ... more
