Tune: All for Jesus

('Holy Spirit, come confirm us')

John 1 v.29-34

********

John's Gospel Series (1)

 

John [the Baptist] did see Jesus approaching

To river [Jordan], he baptising

Said, Behold the Lamb of God He

Saviour of all men He be

 

He does take away the world's sin

Washes, cleanses us within

See all your sins upon Him laid

He for you the price has paid

 

John saw the Spirit descending

From heaven, grace attending

Like a dove on Jesus biding

Rests, stays with Him, remaining

 

God the Father He did John send

To baptise, so lives amend

He said to John, Who you do see

The spirit resting, He be

 

Be the one who does baptise sure

With the Spirit evermore

So John bare record, this the word

That He [Jesus] is the Son of God.

    The Spirit is always with us.

      Thanks Gold. What I like in a (Anglican) Church is that they have The Peace, whether or not they then have Holy Communion. It turns into a bit of natter for a few minutes, but not distracting.

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        Thanks UNCLE STEVE ~ I (Brian) have sung in many Choirs like that ! I closed my eyes and I was there. When I first met ANGELA the Holy Spirit within us bore witness that we were both committed Christians ~ this is the foundation of our Spiritual Relationship ~ AMEN ! Love the POEM ~ the first Chapter of JOHN's GOSPEL is one of the most sublime in the whole BIBLE. It is clear statement of the GOSPEL. I love "When JOHN the BAPTIST saw JESUS he said "BEHOLD The Lamb of God ~ who takes away the Sin of the World ~ AMEN" That is the GOSPEL.
