Faith Obeys The Word - James Series(1)

orchidee



Tune: Doncaster

('Put thou thy trust in God')

James 1 v.19-27 part

*********

Faith, it obeys God's Word

It does what it has heard

Not merely hearing, but doing

Practical in each thing

 

Let us be swift to hear

Slow path of anger steer

And slow to speak, but listen more

Unto God's word for sure

 

Lay aside wickedness

The Lord will not it bless

And receive the word engrafted

Meekly in you planted

 

Show true religion, see

For in these things it be

To care for widows, fatherless

Widowers, motherless

 

And keep self unspotted

From the world, what is said

And done in its culture, for we

Of God's kingdom we be

    Faith can move a mountain, but without it, most are moved to tears..... Neville

        Faith in oneself, is a starting point.

          Thanks Suresh. Well, faith in oneself, yes, but I think, not completely trusting in self.

              Thanks B&A. I vaguely remember that hymn/chorus from Sunday School days. That'll be about 5 million years ago then. It's utterly amazing how old I am. lol.
