I thought it would be fun to do it in English. I dropped 4 letters to get down to 22 (The harder letters for me). Each stanza is 8 verses. It was fun and I worked almost 2 months doing it. I used an online Strong’s Concordance to check word meanings and an online Thesaurus to come up with similar words in the right letter.
