Pardon And Peace

orchidee



Tune: Mannheim

('Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us')

Psalm 32 v.5-8

*********

My sins I did confess to you

Lord, who are holy and true

You did see my penitence here

I did bow in godly fear

And you did forgive, and me aid

The price of my sins you paid

 

So shall every one who godly

Be, they shall pray to you, see

In a time when you may be found

They shall hear the joyful sound

Of sins forgiven, it announced

By you, to us it pronounced

 

Surely in floods of great waters

You shall guide us to safe shores

They shall not us drown or o'erwhelm

Sovereign Lord, you at the helm

You my hiding place are, you shall

Preserve me, defend me well

 

You shall with songs here surround me

Of your deliverance free

You will instruct me and teach me

What your path and way will be

All-seeing, with your eyes you view

Me, and will guide me anew

    It is good write Orchi but in my present feelings towards praying to god for the forgiveness of sins I take a big issue, Joyce in all her life prayed to god, did good in the world to all around her but all god has done is struck her down with this ******* dementia!!!!

    I can't answer this. Not that you particularly asked me for an 'answer' anyway.
    In John's Gospel, some disciples ask: 'Who sinned, that this man was born blind? Him, or his parents?' Jesus said 'Neither him nor his parents have sinned' - to cause this affliction.

      Now that's positivity for you. Unfortunately during ones lifetime there comes along something you shouldn't be doing, but we all do so many different thing we are normally bound to break the Godly givens rules laid down by you God. Have faith a sernity will thrive without the conflictiond tripping you over. Gread read, orchi....

        HI UNCLE STEVE ~ BRIAN HERE 3:30 PM ~ just getting round to the morning posts. Lecturing hIas ceased until September but I pop in every Monday to check the Post and Health & Safety in the LABS (we have 12 in the Science Dept and 3 store rooms / prep rooms full of lethal chemicals like Potassium Cyanide etc !) I am the Safety Officer and Chair of the safety Committee. Loved the HYMN & the POEM. If I am *overtaken in a fault* I do confess and ALWAYS know I have been forgiven by GOD and also ANGELA ~ AMEN

        Blessings to you You & PUKKA PUP
        love BRIAN & ANGELA ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™

          Thanks B&A. Put that cyanide down Fido! Un-marked 18+ poems don't call for such drastic action to those who wrote them. Ohh, Fido gets too keen sometimes. lol.
