Tune: Ravenshaw
('Lord, thy word abideth')
********
Lord, help us seek you first
For you hunger and thirst
Knowing you will tend to
Our daily needs in view
Food and drink and clothing
You know we need each thing
May we trust you provide
And sure in you confide
You will lead us your way
Guide us to watch and pray
Hold to you, spark burn bright
Lead us with your clear light
We shall live by your grace
Each thing of life we face
Show us your plan, purpose
Your intent to bless us
Living for your glory
Sharing gospel story
Salvation here for all
Who on your name, Lord, call

Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
I was tempted to post something witty, or silly even but on reading 'First Focus' .. it came to me that far too many fire from the hip, without seeing what they are looking at or aiming for clearly .. as though on impulse or reflex .... and in the end, I concluded, or rather reinforced my original view and that is to get what one wants clearly in sight first .. see beyond the smoke screens and only then, squeeze the proverbial trigger ...

Thanks N. ooh, be witty or silly if you wish - or both! I shall stagger back in amazement at your witticisms. lol. The idea here seems to be that we need food,drink, and clothing, but not to be obseesed with these things, as if that's ALL there is to life.
Yes we must firstly focus and let faith take our hand before reaching success - good thoughts here Orchi.
Thanks Fay.
Miss Berles approves.
