('O Jesus I have promised')
********
You are the Life, the Truth, the Way
And still are so today
Not man-made fables or fancies
But we do trust, agrees
Our heart and mind in your sure word
The Scriptures we have heard
And onward we shall go and still
Let none from us them steal
Spirit of truth, you lead us to
Confess Christ ever true
And bring to mind whate'er He said
By you we still are fed
For they be words, they spiritual
And sure do feed us all
Who accept you as Lord, Saviour
You do confirm us sure
You shall not fail, nor leave us be
To search confusedly
But you will show us your path plain
Or bring to light again
Your truths, where we may be unsure
Yet your word faithful, pure
It shall uphold and firm us keep
Us in your fold, your sheep

Thanks B&A. It's not me! But I gotta pay this guy overtime, ya know! lol.
The word has been there for centuries, in one form or another, yet the word is not enough....
What good is knowledge, if actions don't follow.....
Thanks Suresh. Ahh yes, I looked at that in (ongoing) studies in James (New Testament). He says the same. All talk - or all knowledge - and no doing?
Yes for human speech, no-doubt, yet even here there is much progress to contemplate that does not disappoint. Indeed it is the Word (Logos) that originally acted, the Word that continuously acts, the Word which holds our very existence from returning to nothingness. Why? Love. Great Love. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us...
Oh' yes.. I am a stickler for truth, but sometimes it hurts like hell..... N
Thanks Neville. I'm thinking here of truth as opposed to false religions.
Nice end rhymes and meter Orchidee - true to form and true to topic my friend: the truth will set you free.
Thanks Gary. Unfortunately, one truth is - Me singing will get no better. Ah well, that can't be helped! heehee.
