My copy of Angels With Dirty Faces arrived today. It was irresistibly priced on Amazon.
James Cagney, Pat O’Brien, and Humphrey Bogart.
If the name seems vaguely familiar it may be because the title was homaged by the movie Home Alone as it’s gangster movie within a movie called Angels With Filthy Souls (“Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal”)
Love Goes On by Jon Guerra.
You don’t give up on us.
You hid a question in everyone’s heart
It’s like an ache in the chest
Will anything last from the end to the start?
You say the answer is yes
Love goes on
On and on and on and on and on
I realise Sunday Songs is happening on Monday a lot presently. But that’s life.
Here’s a new presentation by Carolyn Arends (featuring Brian Morykon) of a song from the 1990’s called We Come.
Lyrics
1.
Our hearts are empty without You
Barren and cold
But for the bold
Hope that You Yourself
Planted within
In the mighty name of God
In the saving name of Jesus
In the strong name of the Spirit
Refrain.
We come
We cry
We watch
We wait
We look
We long for you
2.
Sometimes we long for the morning
For a refrain
From etchings in pain
Yet our loneliness
Draws us to You
In the mighty name of God
In the saving name of Jesus
In the strong name of the Spirit

Westminster Confession Of Faith – Lord’s Day 27
Chapter 17 – Of The Perseverance of the Saints
I. They whom God has accepted in his Beloved, effectually called and sanctified by his Spirit, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace; but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved.
II. This perseverance of the saints depends, not upon their own free-will, but upon the immutability of the decree of election, flowing from the free and unchangeable love of God the Father; upon the efficacy of the merit and intercession of Jesus Christ; the abiding of the Spirit and of the seed of God within them; and the nature of the covenant of grace; from all which arises also the certainty and infallibility thereof.
III. Nevertheless they may, through the temptations of Satan and of the world, the prevalence of corruption remaining in them, and the neglect of the means of their perseverance, fall into grievous sins; and for a time continue therein: whereby they incur God’s displeasure, and grieve his Holy Spirit; come to be deprived of some measure of their graces and comforts; have their hearts hardened, and their consciences wounded; hurt and scandalise others, and bring temporal judgments upon themselves.
