Tune: Dominus Regit Me
('The King of love my Shepherd is')
Philippians 1 v.8-11
**********
God is my witness, how greatly
I long after you all, see
Paul says to the Philippians
His care and comfort they sense
It is with Christ's affection, so
He prays that their love may grow
May so abound more and more in
Knowledge and judgement therein
That they may approve things that are
Excellent, from evil far
That they may be sincere, without
Offence till Christ returns, no doubt
That they be filled with the fruits sure
Of righteousness, whole and pure
Which are by Jesus Christ unto
Glory and praise of God anew

Angela Here ~ Good Sunday Uncle Steve ~ Now the DAY is almost over ! Been ZOOMING today - Church Family & Blood Family - Many are scared to visit because of the Second Wave of C 19 ! Loved your Poem about Christian Love. I centered on HUMAN LOVE in my Poem Today - BUT - because *God is Love* He created us to have a great capacity for LOVE and all Human Love is Divine.
