Profitable Pause

orchidee



Tune: Wem In Leidenstagen

('Glory be to Jesus')

*******

Meditate some moments

Here sense God's presence

His Spirit still biding

In hearts residing

 

Draw of water's fountain

From river within

'Tis the Spirit dwelling

Refreshing each thing

 

All that is pure, holy

And of goodness be

What of Christ in me be

Lasts eternally

 

Not world's ways, vanity

They not true Light see

Having not dimension

Of Christ, God's true Son

 

But for your grace go I

Aimless by and by

No merits of my own

Have I to atone

 

Yet I trust completely

Christ has saved e'en me

Offer of salvation

To all, each nation

    Orchidee, we dont share the same appreciation of what god is but i do share how our god motivates us both here in your words.

    • orchidee

      Thanks dusk.

      I can see the sense of the first two stanzas but as you now know Christianity is uncertain in my mind.

      • orchidee

        Thanks Gold - I understand.

        A gem of a write Orchidee. My brother leans with those who criticize Pope Francis for suggesting that all religions, at their core, seek the one true God. Perhaps it’s just a “profitable pause” that is needed. A pause where one will encounter the Holy Spirit; a pause that will eventually bring many people into His fold of eternal salvation.

          Thanks Gary. Maybe a 'pause' for some to discover that all roads/all religions do not lead to God? I don't know the Pope's views on it myself.

          I enjoyed these words.... and I always try to squeeze in two seated meditation sessions each day.... Neville

            Thanks N. A spot of 'Ommm'? Maybe more profitable than that?!
