Tune: Langran
('Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face')
********
Draw near to God, he will draw near to you
Go not by sight, but by faith His way view
One step at a time, each day seek t ogrow
More Christ-like and more of His Spirit know
Forgive where we fret, hearts they restless be
Or where forgot your constant company
The things we face, your comfort do you bring
And we to you brign praise our offering
Move us, help us, if stuck in apathy
Or maybe a dull unreality
Show what is best, unselfish may we take
Up our cross daily, live for your name's sake
Not be content with what we want, but seek
What you want Lord, and serve you, humble, meek
Our weaknesses you know, to what we prone
Our temptations you know, and did them own
Yet without sin, not fall into sin once
Your Father's will your food, your sustenance
help us not live by bread alone entire
But live by your every word, so aspire

Lord we beseech you, clear our minds of this man made brainwashing that we may see the true light.
Enter into our souls the realisation that the man made power base we know as the established church is corrupt as was the temple in lord jesus' time.
Forgive us our sin of patronising all around us with our false piety whilst we observe contrary lives and deliver us from the eye of a needle where our earthly gains will not pass through.
amen.
Well, yes, Amen to that! If meaning false 'religion', sticking to man-made rules, etc.
I am with you all the way d a.
Good Evening Mon Oncle Steve ! Thanks for another uplifting Hymn & Poem. We are doing a series on The Lords Prayer in our BIBLE STUDY and sharing experiences of answered Prayer. What we are realising that as Committed Christians ~ when we speak to God in sincere Prayer he is always avaiable ~ unlike Earthly Councellors ! Also the fact that as Blood-washed-sinners we can come BOLDLY before the Throne of Grace ~ AMEN. The problem with Agnostics & Atheists (who are critical of Prayer) is that they dont share our experience because it in not NATURAL but SPIRITUAL and in the Spiritual Dimension. The problem is they remain ignorant and miss out on so so much Blessing & Joy !
Blessings & Joy to You & Saint Bernard ~ alias FIDO !
Love in the Spirit ~ ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💙🧡💙🧡
Thanks B&A. Yet we know we can't force beliefs on others, whether spiritual, or natural, e.g. you must BELIEVE in my football team, unless it's ………(insert team name here)!
Good write Orchi but I agree with d a.
Thanks Gold. I agree, in that if it's hypocrisy, self-righteousness, etc of some 'religious' people. Jesus gave strong words to such - You hypocrites, you snakes, etc'
