Where Satin Fails

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

The Word of all words is found in a Book
That all may acquire and take a long look,
If you have one near you, go to it today
Start reading and learning and then start to pray!

If you begin to memorize
The verses you enjoy,
Someday you'll feel a warm surprise
The Devil can't destroy!
