Looking To Love

orchidee



Tune: Crucifer

('Lift high the cross')

*******

Chorus

Lord, look on us, and our afflictions see

Helped by your sustaining grace we shall be

 

Lord, look on me, things body, spirit, soul

Whate'er my needs, come heal and make me whole - Chorus

 

Lord, look on nations, help us know your way

Lead us unto the light of lasting day - Chorus

 

Forgive where we sin, by Christ's cleansing blood

We set free, redeemed, by that full sparkling flood - Chorus

 

Help us take up cross daily, self deny

As you went before us, still your presence nigh - Chorus

 

Seeking to use each hour, and waste none

In learning, growing, [in] image of Christ your Son - Chorus

 

He who did live, die, and then rose again

Gospel news, salvation, now to all men (mankind) - Chorus

      Thanks M. Well, me propelling pencil thing blew up after one poem. The spring bust in it or something. Always dodgy if ya spring busts, yes?!

      • Michael Edwards

        When my spring busts I wet myself - can you get a new one on the NHS?

        • orchidee

          I could get you one from Joe Bloggs, but he's a bit shifty!

        • Fay Slimm.

          There could never be any way better than your chosen title today - "Looking to Love" - thank you Orchi.

          • orchidee

            Thanks Fay. I see it now as Christ looking on us, to love us; and our looking to Christ, to love and serve Him. 🙂

            Did you have to cut the other 2 verses due to no lead in the pencil
            No I didn't mean it to sound like that
            DOH!
            I'll get my coat

            • orchidee

              Thanks Andrew. Well, I cut out about 6 verses I reckon (the original has 12 verses). Plus the Chorus every time. That's about 24 verses in all - phew!
              Where ya going? Getting ya coat? lol.

              Hello Orchidee,

              A beautiful write.

              Psalm 136 God's enduring love is one my favourite stories about Love in the Bible.

              Keep writing
