Tune: England's Lane
('For the beauty of the earth')
*********
Spirit, shine, come fill my heart
My life, from me ne'er depart
Empower me to witness
Evangelise, others bless
He given for mission sure
That all be saved evermore
Help us in the Spirit's flow
His way to go, him to know
Enabling us, not our power
But His power every hour
So alive, proclaim boldly
Of Christ, that Him all may see
Not to quench Him nor Him grieve
Trust to Him fully believe
Not to quench through fear or fret
He will come to our help yet
Not to grieve through anger, rage
But His peace at every stage
Christ' works still on earth be done
Spirit, come, inspire each one
As in days of old, Acts told
Still same calibre and mould
Hope of glory, Christ within
Us, His Spirit guards from sin

My Spirit is alwasy with me but as you know I am now very unsure about Christianity.
I see - thanks Gold.
Well i don't believe in a christian god but i do hold with everything in your piece today. Well written.
Thanks dusk. Me evangelism gets in - by hook or crook?! heehee.
I prefer my spirits in a shot glass.. neat...
Nevertheless, I suspect there are many here and elsewhere who are right behind you my friend...... Neville
Thanks Neville. I keeps ruining the spirits - adds water to them! lol.
I think most of us are wise to you by now...
And I'll bow down to my knees for this wonderful piece. Great work as usual, orch.
Thanks Kevin. No bowing down to me though, lol. It makes 'em bow when they hear me singing though. They double over in agony and bow down. heehee.
So, tell me if you can send me a video of your beautiful singing voice?
Erm, not got a video, but look up clips of two cats fighting to get the general idea. lol.
I did think as much, orch, but maybe not quite like that!!!
Many find their strength, just as you,
Others drift away from one and find solace in another.
Thanks Suresh.
THANKS UNCLE STEVE ~ Gone Midnight ~ No PUMPKIN COACH ~ walking home again ! Love the HYMN another OLDEN GOLDIE ! Love the poem for Holy Spirit Sunday ! We all need to be filled DAY BY DAY ! As Christians we ALL need the FRUIT of the SPIRIT (ALL NINE) to enable us to survive in the 21st C ~ A God Forsaking Generation ! Also each of Our Christian Churches needs the 19 Gifts of the Holy Spirit to Survive ! Currently weve got a CHRISTIAN MONARCH (but not for long !) and a CHRISTIAN PM ~ for a few more days ! BUT WHAT NEXT ..................... ?
Blessings to YOU & the CENSOR !
Love in the SPIRIT ~ ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡 + 🧡
Dont forget the FUSION on MONTHS (chose any MONTH !)
Thanks B&A. Aww, I never did hob-nob with the PM and her hubby after all. They go to a fairly local church here.
