Parables Perceptions

orchidee



Tune: Laos Deo

('Bright the vision that delighted')

Luke 8 v.10-12

********

Parables Jesus revealéd

To His disciples not hid

Were their meanings, their mysteries

Shown to them, not mere stories

 

They granted these graces to know

Veiled teachings of kingdom [of God] so

Yet to others hidden, concealed

Were their truths, the outcomes sealed

 

For some would see, but they not see

Not perceive what meanings be

And would hear, but not understand

The things shown them by God's hand (= His Spirit)

 

Whether seed of God's word does fall

It shall fall on one and all

Pathway, rocks, or thorns, or good soil

Help us Lord to hear your call

        Thanks M. So there's more to Para Berles than just the surface meanings. You met him/her?
