Whoso sheddeth man’s blood,
by man shall his blood be shed:
for in the image of God made he man.
–Genesis 9:6 (KJV)–

The innocent and righteous slay thou not:
for I will not justify the wicked.
–Exodus 23:7 (KJV)–

The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
–Jeremiah 1:4-5 (KJV)–

Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place…For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.
–Ephesians 5:4, 12 (ESV)–

Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet,
and shew my people their transgression.
–Isaiah 58:1 (KJV)–

Occupy your mind with Christ and His Gospel in order that you may know your sin and His grace, and then wrestle with your sin, as Romans 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 have taught you to do. After you have arrived at the eighth chapter and are subjected to crosses and sufferings, you will be rightly taught how comforting predestination is, as explained in Romans 9, 10, and 11. For outside of a condition of suffering, cross-bearing, and mortal anguish, a person cannot contemplate predestination without injury to himself and without harboring a secret grudge against God. Therefore Adam must be quite dead before a person can bear to listen to this teaching and drink of this strong wine. Beware, then, of drinking wine while you are still a suckling infant. There is a proper limit, time, and age for every doctrine.

Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet,
and shew my people their transgression,
and the house of Jacob their sins.
–Isaiah 58:1 (KJV)–

Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it;
for their wickedness is come up before me.
–Jonah 1:2 (KJV)–

Truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord,
and of judgment, and of might,
to declare unto Jacob his transgression,
and to Israel his sin.
–Micah 3:8 (KJV)–

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;
therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee
with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
–Hebrews 1:9 (KJV)–

Among them that are born of women
there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.
–Jesus in Matthew 11:11 (KJV)–

They say the darkest moment
Is right before the light, before the light
When nothing makes sense anymore
They say that in times of storm

You must gather what remains without letting it perish
Everything that is no longer needed falls away
When an end arrives, it all began
When the sun comes out, you’ll see

Every cloud has a silver lining
My grandfather told me that
He told me that

Every cloud has a silver lining
My grandfather told me that
Look at this miracle
Here we are together again

You give us the vision to understand
When an end arrives, it all began
When the sun comes out, you’ll see

Every cloud has a silver lining
My grandfather told me that

I’ve battled through life

Every cloud has a silver lining
It is comes, it comes
