Tune: St George's, Windsor
('Come ye thankful people, come')
1 Chronicles 29 v.9 - 14
***********
David and people prepared
To build Temple, they all shared
Brought their offerings gladly
David's son Solomon, see
Would lead the building teams, he
All things he would oversee
It be for God's glory great
He it sure would consecrate
David then the people blessed
Blessed be the LORD, he confessed
Said, O LORD, yours the greatness
Power, victory, holiness
Victory and majesty
For all in heaven, earth, be
Yours, for you all created
Us your people you have fed
Yours, LORD, is the kingdom sure
You exalted evermore
As the head above ll things
We bring you our offerings
Riches, honour come from you
You reign over all, 'tis true
In your had is power and might
You will do justice and right
You able to make us great
Do not leave us unto fate
You give strength to all beings
All creation to you sings
Now therefore, O God, we praise
Your glorious name, it raise
Give you thanks, you do provide
In you we do trust, confide
But who am I, and who are
These my people, small by far
Compared to you, Lord of all
Yet we may upon you call
We humbly and willingly
Offer, yet all things we see
Come from you, and of your own
We have given you, this known

Love the POEM ! Tha MANTRA BRIAN & live by is to SHARE & to CARE ! We want our Home to be a Place where YOUNG & OLD can come freely to share a Meal (we both love to cook !) of find a shoulder to CRY ON or someone to REJOICE WITH ! We have a saying in Spanish *Mi CASA es Tu CASA* *MY HOUSE is YOUR HOUSE* and thats how we want it to be ! The Greek word for FELLOWSHIP is KANOINIA and friends of ours who have an *OPEN HOUSE* have a door mat bit the spelt it COME-ON-IN-ERE ! AMEN !

Thanks B&A. Dunno - would that cur be welcome too? He won't let us have much 'excitement' and certainly not any 'ardour'! lol.
Well, with Gods glory you have compiled a fantastically honest piece of writing as per usual within your own style of movement in which you make with your own pen...
Thanks Kevin.
