Nothing finer than the Ole Blue and White
The finest university in Kentucky by Day or night.
The professors that dedicate their lives
day in and day out
So their students will receive the best education ever, no doubt
You will bleed Blue through and through
After watching the Wild Cats win another game for you
Being a faithful Kentucky alumnus you can say
I'm proud to be a Wildcat on the prowl today

What makes Marshall University so Great
It is the professors that carry so much
weight
Marshall, a University that has a soul that speaks from within
Its namesake US Chief Justice John Marshall, Is where the credit begins
Marshall was brought to its knees through that tragic plane crash
Seventy-five souls departed this earth, no one could fathom there worth
Huntington prayed for Marshall night and day
Marshall began to rebuild, The Thundering Herd began to play
Through the ashes of great tragedy, something mysterious happens
Through the love and strength of GOD
A stronger University happened
Marshall University stands today
on honored grounds for all to share
A university that's large enough to matter but small enough to care
Graduates of Marshall University can hold their heads high
Knowing they can accomplish anything before they die

Do you know someone that has a cold heart
The more you talk, the further you grow apart
There's just one thing that will melt that old heart
That's the warmth of GOD’S Love flowing from your own heart
It may take a while if that old heart is frozen like a block of ice
They may have it insulated and not want to get rid of it at any price
The warmth of GOD’S love can penetrate any shell
It can keep people, from going into the pits of hell
Patience is the key I must say
Always keep praying and loving anyway
When the right time comes the ice will start to melt
The warmth of his wonderful Love will be felt
A gleam will finally show in their eye
when they realize that JESUS did not die
Now that you both have a mutual friend
You can talk and share GOD’s Love again and again

I know a man, whom I will not reveal
They seem to squeak when they turn their wheel
They have a very large ego always talking about themselves
Everything is much bigger on their shelves
Quickly to correct and scold, they don't seem to be interested in what you've told, it seems to be on earthly gold
Oh, something just came to my mind
The individual I'm describing is not very kind
Another thought just entered my head
The one I'm talking about turns my face red
Oh, now that i have written this, i see
The change must begin with me

Oh the tragedy that befell the nine of Emanuel EME Church
Wherever we look, there is no answer wherever we search
Pure evil was on the prowl that day
Crushing the hearts of many
Is it possible that forgiveness from GOD'S Love could come from any
We've seen from the ashes of destruction
GOD'S Pure Love ascending from above
Forgiveness comes from many family and friends
Can only be understood from the Love of GOD within
For where the bright light of Love abounds
There is no room for the devil on Heavenly Ground

Why do some people require so much attention
Is it because their lonely, or have some issue they forgot to mention
I know it just makes me feel better to have someone to talk too
Talking to a friend always keeps me from feeling blue
If I can't find a friend, almost anyone will do.
It may have something to do with talking your feelings through
The next time someone wants to talk and they are bothering you
Take time to listen, it might be the best for the both of you

What does worship mean to you
Which day do you set aside to do
Sunday is the most common day to attend church
Many people go there without worshiping much
Worship comes from the feelings of the heart
Only GOD knows the real feelings that we impart
A Saint told me one day when I asked when you take time to pray.
GOD watches me every second of the day. My whole life is a prayer I would say.

Money can't buy worldly happiness and pleasure
Only worldly things like silver and gold can we measure
Money can't by love, joy, and peace within
There's no way to buy the traveled road that leads to Him
Through our faith alone can we see Jesus’ face
Oh the glow that surrounds Him, full of much Glory and Grace
Only the Blood that Jesus shed, covers the sins of this world
Only His blood, lets Love and Grace of God be unfurled

Changing the guard is the most difficult thing to do.
The sadness of this time is beyond belief to go through.
When the Matriarch in a family dies
It leaves a great vacuum to be filled.
When it involves a country there is much love and gratitude to rebuild.
Queen Elizabeth was not only Mum to her children
She was Mum to the many Brits that loved her by the millions
The future that lies ahead will never be the same.
In the loving past, we will always remember her name.
