Tune: Gwalchmai
('King of glory, King of peace')
Psalm 119 v.33-40
********
Teach me, O LORD, in your way
Throughout each day
Teach me your statutes, I shall
Then sure fare well
Shall keep your commands to end
Of days you send
Give me understanding too
And me renew
So shall I your law e'er keep
I be your sheep
I shall it observe wholly
With my heart free
Make me to go in your way
This I do pray
For therein I do delight
Fixed there my sight
Incline my heart, that it sees
Testimonies
That you give, but not in this
Covetousness
Turn away my eyes that they
See no strange way
Nor vanity, me quicken
In your ways then
Establish your word unto
Your servant, do
'Tis me, for devoted I
Unto you cry
Devoted unto your fear
Reverence here
Turn my reproach, good you are
Holy by far

always face oncoming traffic.. likewise any problems that crop up along the way.. keep to the kerb but keep moving at a reasonable pace otherwise you might be considered a kerb crawler and Fido would go berserk..... above all else.. keep both walking and believing.... Neville
Thanks Neville. I seen people wit their backs to the traffic - arggh! Also, yes, face traffic, and beware of sharp right turns, which can be as blind corners. If there's a pavement, use it of course. lol. Fido told me too, to face oncoming traffic. You walking? You gone shopping?!
I'm in the garden.....
A beautifully composed confession of faith dear Orchi - thank you for sharing.
Thanks Fay. I did do a 'said' discourse on all 176 verses of Psalm 119. Phew! I put it on a separate file, runs for 11 pages.Thankfully not set to a tune, or else I would sing it all - hours of torture for listeners. lol. Rather break it down into 22 x 8 sections. Maths lesson over for today.
Thnks for sharing UNCLE STEVE : its 11pm in NZ so just off to bed after I've checked MPS ! I had an Evening Clinic 6 to 9pm ! Beautifiul Hymn & Vid : Loved the opening flowers ! Loved the POEM : Is it FIDOS theme song ?
Turn my eyes that they see
No strange way no vanity !
Your posts are always an uplift and for me better than a Peeping Slill ! Brain has been tutoring me on SPOONERISMS !
Every Blessing & Joy for TODAY
Yours ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
