The Image of God
Marred by the Fall
Is Being Restored in Me
And we know that all things work together for good to those
who love God, to those who are the called according to His
purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be
conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn
among many brethren.

kept Thy Law.
-- Psalm 119:55
