Frau Holle
"Frau Holle" (also known as "Mother Holle") is a German fairy tale that comes from the book Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children's and Household Tales) written by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm (The Brothers Grimm).Frau Holle is the 24th story in the first volume of the book published in 1812.
Synopsis
In the second edition of the book in 1819 they added some details, most prominently the rooster's greetings, provided by a correspondent Georg August Friedrich Goldmann from Hannover. The tale of Frau Holle was told to the Brothers by Henriette Dorothea (who later married Wilhelm in 1825) Like many other tales collected by the brothers Grimm the story of Frau Holle was told to teach a moral. In Frau Holle the moral is that hard work is rewarded and laziness is punished.
The fairy tale
A widow had two daughters, the one was beautiful and industrious, the other ugly and lazy. She greatly favored the ugly, lazy girl, because she was her own daughter. And the other one had to do all the work, and be the Cinderella of the house.

Under Steeples (isaiah 1, Amos 5)
by: FreelyVerse 1:
The songs you sing My heart has grown to hate them
The meetings of the saints are all in vain
Under steeples marked with crosses I see darkness
For sin abounds under false pretenses
Chorus:
Wake up from your sleeping My redeemed
Remove the evil deeds from My eyes
See the orphan see the widow's needs
Learn to get on your knees and serve each other
Verse 2:
If you lift up your hands I will not see them
Even though your many prayers I will not hear
For My pleasure is not in the sacrifices
But in the righteousness of the heart that makes it
Chorus:
Wake up from your sleeping My redeemed
Remove the evil deeds from My eyes
See the orphan see the widow's needs
Learn to get on your knees and serve each other
Bridge:
Your sins are like scarlet but they will be white as snow
You wear evil like a garment but I'm giving you a brand new coat
And if you are willing to live by all My commands
You will know Jesus and you'll drink from the Father's hands
Chorus:
Wake up from your sleeping My redeemed
Remove the evil deeds from My eyes
See the orphan see the widow's needs
