Tune: Capetown
('Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost')
******
To love, it be your command
Appointed by your good hand
Lord, come help, forgive, inspire
With your holy fire
Show us how to love, whole heart
Love to you in every part
Your love first to us you shared
By grace unimpaired
Where our love be partial, cold
Yet your love still does us hold
Gospel of your love be told
With your courage bold
And love for one another
Each sister and each brother
Strengthen us where faint we be
To love completely
Employing heart, mind, will, soul
Where distractions bring a lull
Help us return to first love
Spirit, holy dove
And our love expressively
In our praises tunefully
Pray, accept for your glory
We your creatures be
Gifts and graces we do know
Given to us here below
God in heaven, Spirit lives
In our hearts, life gives

Woof! Not now Fido! Not the sort of 'faint' you mean - verse 4. heehee.
If only the world would love each other it would be wonderful
Thanks Gold. 'Tis true!
THANKS UNCLE STEVE : A very uplifting Hymn & Poem. The FRUIT of the SPIRIT is motivated by Love ! Without LOVE : No Joy : No Peace etc in face NO - THING !
GOD is LOVE and He created H Sapiens with a BIG LOVE BUTTON (I wont go into details cos Im scared of FIDO !) Everyone who LOVES experiences GOD & is known by HIM : AMEN !
Love in the Spirit :
ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thanks A&B. You did not 'tempt' Fido to bark! lol. He knows this sort of love too when I tickle his tummy! (I haven't even got a dog really). Fido's a real pest sometimes. lol.
Hello Orchidee,
Happy Valentine's Day!
A wonderful poem on God's love.
Psalm 136 my favourite Psalm on God's love.
Keep writing
FineB
Thanks Fine.
If we all loved each other would there be enough to go round? Should we order more from Amazon?
Thanks M. Yes, let\'s orders tons of it. How much does it cost? And can you get it from your Co-op too?
Yes and they do their own brand as well - buy one get one free - always wanted free love !! lol
Not from Amazon...please!!
Bezos doesn’t need our hard earned money!
We'll stick to the Co-op - free parking and they do gift wrapping.
👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Is the Co-op too common?! Ohh it's Waitrose for upper-class, selling all sorts of rubbish we've never heard of!
It's easy Orchi - just shop in the Co-Op with a paper bag on your head for anonymity and use a Waitrose bag for your shopping.
Can it work vice versa? Or too common to be seen in Waitrose with a Co-op bag?! Who eats some of the stuff in Waitrose anyway? Pork scratchings with custard, and stuff like that - summat like that anyway.
Maybe because its Valentine's Day, you should pen a her poem, just to even it up a bit... nothing that might set Fido off tho...
Thanks N. I'm scared of Fido - he's so fussy. The least thing sets him off!
I have noticed...
Orchi,
Thank you for sharing your “Love Limitless”!
Happy Valentine’s Day!💝
