Tune: Penlan
('In heavenly love abiding')
********
Lord, for us provide daily
lead us along your way
Whate'er in life does befall
Us, help us trust you all
Come to us, give us your grace
For what we today face
Work it for good, your purpose
Your love still surround us
What trial or temptation
You know them, every one
The things of body, soul, mind
And spirit, that we find
Progressing on life's journey
May you our Saviour be
Accepting your salvation
Open to each nation
Give us too peace, that we grow
In you, your wisdom know
Whether life rough or smooth be
Or comparatively
At ease we be, while others
Suffer, sisters, brothers
Or if our own load heavy
You our strength, help e'er be
Knowing you human nature
Took, with divine stature
With mankind identified
You have not us denied
Man of sorrows and of joys
Yet free from sin's alloys
Your Spirit will us sustain
Blessings in you we gain

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.6.7.6. 7.6.7.6. metre. Stepping Stones 1 is somewhere in my Archives. I aim in some (many?) poems to seek to relate Christianity with living it out daily. Or else sometimes it might become a game called 'Going To Church'. I forget occasionally that people do not LIVE in the church building all week! Though some we may only see in church, and never outside of it, or rarely so.

Very Inspirational.
Thanks Lamar.
lovely write,song and imagery
Thanks Ron.
you`re welcome
Thanks UNCLE STEVE - Good Evening we*re ALL - NOW in the same time ZONE ! We are a bit late surfing MSN today but whatever time of the DAY (or NIGHT) we read your PRESENTATION it always lifts us HIGHER & Closer to GOD ~ AMEN ! Love the Golden Oldies always a message of Hope & Inspiration ! Loved the POEM it touches on some of THE NINE FRUIT of the Spirit ~ AMEN Faith - Love - Self control - Peace - Joy etc etc. The BIBLE teaches that when we are Born Again we receive the Holy Spirit into our Lives and we receive the Whole Nine of the Fruit of the Spirit to enable us to live the Christian Life and be Active & Fruitful Witnesses ~ AMEN We also receive at least ONE Gift of the 19 Gifts of the Spirit to aid us to promote the Work of the Local Church of which we are a MEMBER ! But thats another Subject ! We teach the importance of the FRUIT of SPIRIT to new converts ! Teaching about the Gifts of the Spirit and finding our Gift takes TIME & PATIENCE ! Brian & I with our WORK as YOUTH Leaders - Exercise a GIFT as TEACHERS of the Word of God to Our Christian Youth (about 15 aged 15 to 21) in a SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE CLASS and a FRIDAY ACTIVITY NIGHT ~ AMEN ! We also have *OPEN YP HOUSE* in Brians Flat on a Sunday Night 8:30 - 10pm ! Fortunately His Flat is only about 10 mins walk from the CHURCH !
Blessings & JOY to YOU & Your Cheerful Cur
Love in the Spirit ANGELA & BRIAN

Thanks B&A. Are there more than 19 gifts? I think, e.g. Peter says about gifts of speaking and of ministering. That could cover various gifts. No, no, Fido - is he spiritually minded? He says he don't want anything fruity going on. heehee! He is awful, like a wet blanket to smother our joys!
Good one Orchi but not his spirit My Spirit.
Thank Gold. Oh I see. I don't tend to think that much about my spirit (small 's' for me), though we all have one.
