I recently wrote a song entitled "The heavens declare the glory of God" (Chinese Supplemental Hymns, #3) that originally contained the words, "The universe contains the beauteous creation / With hundreds of thousands of shapes and colors," However, I deleted this line because I am not interested merely in nice-sounding words. We are dealing with the truth, and our hymns must contain the truth. What of the truth is in the line "The universe contains the beauteous creation / With hundreds of thousands of shapes and colors'? Romans 1:20 says, "The invisible things of Him, both His eternal power and divine characteristics, have been dearly seen since the creation of the world, being perceived by the things made, so that they would be without excuse," This is the truth. The Bible does not require us to publish beautiful literary works, and we must not get into that realm.

I love all hymnal songs. I love Jesus.
