Tune: All Saints
('Who are these like stars appearing?')
Romans 4 v.7-8 and 5 v.1-2
*********
Gathering here of your people
You do call us, one and all
We draw near now, you our Saviour
Let each life, each spirit stir
To worship you, you the Lord
You are 'er the living Word
Grant us vision, show us your way
For each one through every day
Light and love and celebration
All join in from each nation
And to serve you, know your will
Here to sense your presence still
Blessed are they whose sins by you be
Forgiven, redeemed, and free
And their sins are covered over
By Christ the Lamb's Passover
Blessed they whom the Lord will not
Impute sin, happy their lot
It is by faith, we justified
We have peace with God, confide
In Christ's offering on the cross
Suffered to redeem our loss
Through Him the way is accessed
By faith into grace, we blessed

Great writing!
Thanks JW.
Odd how your god feels the need to call out for worshipers yet so many acknowledge a god who is far less needy. Mind you, not all gods have paid hangers-on milking their flock for as much money as they can get (and then plead poverty for the church roof fund).
Persistence is the key to keep it up their noble robbery.
Thanks dusk. I was reading this - Why does God want glory and worship? Yet we are is creature and He is our Creator. And nothing selfish in His perfection, for wanting glory for Himself.
One church seemed to make, or raise, a million pounds, literally. They sought for another million. Dunno what they've done with it. A building due to be re-built has not been touched.
The god you worship isn't my creator orchidee. There are more non christian souls upon this planet than there are christians so dont go claiming he is their creator either. You insult all non christian when you do that. You may be thinking 'he' (sexist value) is perfection but most do not.

GOOD MORNING UNCLE STEVE ~ Thanks once again for a morning uplift for me (11am during a much needed iced coffee break) and for ANGELA (10pm an iced G &T break). WE loved the ORGAN & the ORGANIST and of course your POEM. Romans is one of the most doctinely important Books in the NT.
Therefore there is NOW NO Condemnation
To those who have been BORN AGAIN
Those who now WALK not under control of SELF (FLESH)
But under the control of the HOLY SPIRIT ~ AMEN !
Blessings to YOU & DROOPY DOG
Love in the Spirit ANGELA & BRIAN🧡 💙 🧡 💙 + 🧡
We will be OFF-LINE for a few days.
Thanks B&A.
Do I detect a slight religious flavour herein.........
You have faith & despite everything, I respect that..... Neville
Thanks Neville. Yes. I prefer 'spiritual' to 'religion'. Yet Christianity is a religion. Can you see me now? I'm digging this hole, and it could get deeper, with me in it, as they say!
I would agree, I prefer the term spiritual to religious ..... remember, once a hole has been dug, it must remain a hole, until it is filled....... Neville
A celebratory piece as tribute to unselfish love......... a message to think on dear Orchi.
Thanks Fay.
Good one Orchi.
