Tune: Christchurch
('Now is eternal life')
********
Lord, forgive me when I
As if kingdom pass by
Your kingdom and your will
Where righteousness reigns still
Help me these things first for to seek
You revealed unto humble, meek
Where I distracted be
Material things, see
May occupy my mind
No lasting peace I find
But grant me grace, that everyday
Matters trust they work out your way
If tempted on feelings
To rely in all things
Help me to turn to you
Inspire my faith anew
To tend to today while it here
Your presence in it shall appear
And so affected be
By some small things are we
Then our focus is lost
A while on you, the cost
Is that we panic, fret, or fear
And forget that you still are near
With patience help us to
Persevere, by faith view
You, understand your plan
As far as humans can
Answers to prayer you do reveal
Come to us forgive, restore, heal

Very meaningful hymn/prayer.
Thanks Gold. We know we have necessary everyday things to do. I suppose some of them are not less spiritual. I was thinking how we (or I anyway) can be distracted and not bother at times about more specifically 'spiritual' matters.
everyone has got to have faith... thanks for pointing it out... N
Thanks N.
no worries...
A hymn / poem / prayer that would do me well to meditate on and return to.
The last two lines of the first stanza as well as the second and fourth stanza were especially uplifting and encouraging to me. Please don't stop writing. Missed you while I was gone!
Thanks A.
Thanks UNCLE STEVE for another uplift to sustain a busy day. I trust when we are retired (2053 !) we will somehow be less busy ? Love the Hymn & Devotional Poem . It is the knowledge that WE HAVE ETERNAL LIVE NOW ~ irrespective of whenever JESUS comes (2nd Coming) or calls (demise) ~ that sustains us SPIRITUALLY 24 / 7 AMEN !
Abundant Blessings A & B 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thanks B & A. Ooh, but you\'re gonna be 117, you say! We have a Christchurch Meadows near town (hymn tune name). Sorry - you'll have to enlarge the video to full screen. Unusual clip.
Great stuff O
Thanks M. Sings: ''Ohh, some enchanted evening....' There's plenty of them this year - evenings, that is!
