He Called My Name
HE CALLED MY NAME
I woke up and did not see the sunlight
There were no stars
But
I woke
I looked at the horizon
and I saw The Suffering
My father was there waiting
as he called my name
I woke up and did not see your life
There were no signs of forgiveness inside of me
But
I woke
I saw the tablet of mans evil
I read the lies of human law
My father was there waiting
As He Called My name
I woke up and saw the vast void of emptiness
There were no signs of Prayer Inside
But
I woke
Black and cold in my birthing of death
I looked into the eyes of mankinds blaspheming
My father was there waiting
As he called my name

The presets feature lets you easily set defaults for each deviation you submit, saving time when uploading and submitting files. Set up different presets for when you submit photography, traditional art, adoptables, and more.

Manage and Schedule Journal Drafts in Studio
Journal drafts are joining the party in the Studio! Previously, unfinished drafts of journals could only be found in the Posts tab on your Profile, but with this and a few other quality-of-life improvements, Studio is the one-stop place to manage needs of both your visual and written deviation drafts!
Manage Journal Drafts
In the Drafts section of your Studio, navigate to the "Journals" tab at the top, right next to "Media" and "Literature," and make any edits you need. Journal drafts are still available in their previous home in Profile > Posts > and selecting "Drafts" from the dropdown.
Schedule Journals
As with other types of content, you can now schedule journal drafts through your Studio. Simply go to Drafts > Journals > Click the “...” on the far right of the draft > Select "Schedule," and set your preferred publish time. You can also bulk schedule by checking the boxes to the left of each item and selecting from the "Edit" menu.
Use Shift to Multi-Select
