(Lyrics)

Let all mortal flesh keep silence,

And with fear and trembling stand;

Ponder nothing earthly minded,

For with blessing in His hand,

Christ our God to earth descendeth comes,

our homage to demand.

King of kings, yet born of Mary,

As of old on earth He stood,

Lord of lords, in human vesture,

In the body and the blood;

He will give to all the faithful

His own self for heavenly food.

Rank on rank the host of heaven

Spreads its vanguard on the way,

As the Light of light descendeth

From the realms of endless day,

That the powers of hell may vanish

As the darkness clears away.

At His feet the six winged seraph,

Cherubim with sleepless eye,

Veil their faces to the presence,

As with ceaseless voice they cry:

Alleluia, Alleluia

Alleluia, Lord Most High!

PROOF OF GOD

Catholics also believe in "purgatory" which is nowhere to be found in any Bible except the one they have changed the words of and twisted them to mean something that their religion has brainwashed them to believe. Just like calling all their priests "Father" when the words of Jesus in the Bible tells us, "to call no one Father, except your heavenly Father." As a Christian, I confess my sin directly to God in the name of the Lord and not some middle MAN in a booth, or using  a string of ritualistic beads that negate the very privilege of repentance. I could go on about the RCC and all their ritualistic nonsense of intervening to take God's place and steal His glory, but if you're Catholic you already know it's wrong in your heart and you will be told so at the White Throne Judgment seat. That's correct. You heard it right - the White Throne Seat of Judgment. Read the KJV (lining up with the Dead Sea Scrolls verbatim) not the Bible the RCC has corrupted and changed to fit their needs of usurping God's authority. The whole Pope thing is so disgusting with all their child-molesting priests. The Bible expressly states: "not one jot or tittle shall be changed,"  and "nothing shall be added to or taken away from scripture." Period. There's a laundry list of so many bad things about this church - if you're Catholic and read this - FLEE immediately while you still can! For once in your Christian walk have a direct and personal relationship with Jesus and pray to Him - not man. Really get Born-again this time, and don't listen to the corrupt church of the RCC that Satan controls. If something reeks of garbage, that's because it is garbage. God warns us of the signs - so wake up you Catholics and get right with God before it's too late.

This is so far removed from anything I would ever listen to normally and yet, somehow, it seems wonderful to me.

1.Catholics do not worship bread and wine. We take Jesus literally at His word when He said, "Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood you shall not have life in you," and "This is my body … this is my blood…. Do this in memory of Me." 2. We do not WORSHIP Mary and the dead. We HONOR the woman whom God chose out of all the women in the world to be His mother, just as He honored her. Does anyone want his or her mother disrespected? Also we HONOR those whom we call saints because they lived extraordinary lives of devotion to God and service to others. Catholics believe that WORSHIP IS FOR GOD ALONE.

All members of religious orders must be self-supporting. They receive no income from the Church. They have the same cost of living expenses we do (food, housing, utilities, clothing, transportation) and they must also support their ministries (hospitals, homeless, shelters, schools, etc.).

The tune is 17th century. Definitely NOT medieval.  This arrangement ("Let all Mortal Flesh Keep Silence." is from 1906 and is by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Tune is Picardy. This is the most famous hymn, but others were written, and parts of Picardy were even used by Holst.. Originally used for the folk tune, "Jésus-Christ s'habille en pauvre."Dang cool, anyhow. Beautiful, ladies. Simply beautiful!

To Muslims who believe Jesus did not die on the cross but was replace by another man. Why would God go through that trouble? Sure Jesus is not like an ordinary man. God did not do that for Muhammad. Ask yourself why?
