Faith Produces Wisdom - James Series (5)

orchidee



Tune: Serenity

('Immortal love, for ever full')

James 3 v.13-18 part

*******

The wisdom from above is pure

And peaceable for sure

Gentle, and easy to intreat

Grows as productive wheat

 

'Tis full of mercy and good fruits

And follows good pursuits

It has no partiality

And no hypocrisy

 

And too the fruit of righteousness

is sown in peace no less

By them who make peace, blessed they be

Their hearts are loving, see

 

Tis wisdom it comes from above

The Lord does in His love

Grant it to those who ask him, seek

They be the humble, meek

    • orchidee

      Sounds like a good theme for a sermon. But don't start it 'Once upon a time....'

    • Goldfinch60

      May that wisdom fill everyone with the Peace of the World.

        Thanks Gold. Ain't no wisdom in me singing, but that can't be helped! lol.

        Faith can certainly turn into wise ways of dealing with life's challenges Orchi - thank you for sharing the need for humility to see good results

          Well done Faith but a funny name for her son.

          • orchidee

            • Michael Edwards

              Is he a wizard?

            • dusk arising

              Where is this above place then?

              • orchidee

                Heaven - presumably!

                • dusk arising

                  Oh orchidee... why presume?... is it because somebody else told you its there? Blind faith = never has it been proven..... Nothing wrong with asking these questions..... i asked them and was most disappointed with the wishy washy answers which were given to me. Wishy washy answers are ok and acceptable if you are afraid to seek the truth.
