The Confession (c. 452?)
Context: So I hope that I did as I ought, but I do not trust myself as long as I am in this mortal body, for he is strong who strives daily to turn me away from the faith and true holiness to which I aspire until the end of my life for Christ my Lord, but the hostile flesh is always dragging one down to death, that is, to unlawful attractions. And I know in part why I did not lead a perfect life like other believers, but I confess to my Lord and do not blush in his sight, because I am not lying; from the time when I came to know him in my youth, the love of God and fear of him increased in me, and right up until now, by God's favour, I have kept the faith.
Philadelphia Freedom (1975)
Song lyrics, Singles
“Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise, I know I'm going to shine.”

Context: p>My time coming, any day, don't worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way, I'm in no hurry, no.
Rainbows end down that highway where ocean breezes blow
My time coming, voices saying, they tell me where to go.
Don't worry 'bout me, no no, don't worry 'bout me, no
And I'm in no hurry, no no no, I know where to go. California, preaching on the burning shore
California, I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise, I know I'm going to shine.</p
“Even with these dark eyes, a gift of the dark night
I go to seek the shining light.”
"A Generation" [Yidai ren]
“Did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.”

"Differences" in The Collected Songs of Charles Mackay (1859).
“Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light.”
