Tune: Camberwell
(one tune to: 'At the name of Jesus')
Colossians 3 v.12-17
**********
Put on, as God's chosen
People, you each one
Holy and beloved you
Tender mercies too
With kindness, humbleness
To each forgiveness
Meekness, longsuffering
And each Christ-like thing
Forbear one another
Sister and brother
If quarrel, disagree
let forgiveness be
Shown, as Christ forgave you
This the standard true
So forgive in same way
Children of light, day
And above these things all
Put on love, not fall
It bond of perfectness
Here each other bless
Let the peace of God rule
In your hearts in full
To this you are called, show
Christ's peace here below
Called in one body we
Let us thankful be
Let word of Christ indwell
You, His wisdom tell
Teaching, admonishing
One another, bring
Psalms, hymns, spiritual songs
Join the worship throngs
Sing with grace in your hearts
Each one take your parts
Sing to the Lord, and what
You do in life's lot
In word or deed do all
In the Lord's name, call
On Him, Jesus, thanks give
To God who e'er lives

Are you ready to hear the C of E statement about its rampant peodophilia and cover up. Is it an excuse to ''say was not me guv' and still support this corrupt organisation?
I thought that was the ....................involved in unsnpeakable things. I best not say which (denomination).
No, it is the church of england, the anglican church, having to face up to a history of knowing about its peadophile activities and providing a hiding place for the offenders and their offences. Typical of the dual standards and hypocracy with all the churches of christianity.... but that is no excuse.
I suppose that's the 'excuse' - 'Ahh, but they (the churches) are not all like that'. Yet it's a true statement, I trust.
It's all over the news on tv and radio. Brushing it to one side by individual christians "this does not concern ME" is what it is admitting to have done and been found guilty of covering up and hiding peadophiles in its organisation. Turning away and saying its not me got them found GUILTY.
There's nothing wrong with the drums, in our Church we sometimes have a group next to the Choir, and in that choir I stand next to the drums, that again is no problem as he is a very good drummer.

Thanks Gold. Maybe some 'fogies' had a rant, thinking it spoilt a 'traditional' hymn.
The Little Drummer Boy had one and made a very nice tribute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT1fA59oH7Q
Thanks Lorna.
I quite like drums and drummers and whilst the guy in the clip aint bad, I think the hymn in question may have sounded better without them on this occasion ....
I am a great believer in folk practicing what they preach though ..
Neville
Thanks Neville. Yep, that's what they were ranting about - drums not preferred for this hymn!
Yes, no use I suppose, spouting off, being 'all talk and no do!'
I wish I would 'do', and not waffle on for ages, of whether it's 'practising' or 'practicing'? Hmm.
