Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago what did they eat
They lived a certain man
If they have time at the weekend they will come to see us
For they not know what they do
We seek him here we seek him there
Although they knew god they did not glorify him
They did not reject you they rejected me
Rankings: what are they and do they matter?
Grammar rules frustrate me they're not logical they are so
They are they which testify of me
