Tune: Old Yeavering
('Like a mighty river flowing')
Psalm 86 v.9-15 parts
********
All nations who you have made shall
Come, worship before you and tell
Of your doings, you are the Lord
God alone, the living Word
Teach me your way, O LORD, I wll
Walk in your truth, follow you still
Unite my heart to fear your name
It claim solely for your fame
I will praise you with my whole heart
O Lord my God, in every part
For great is your mercy to me
You have delivered me, see
Saved me from the lowest hell, for
You did attend to my needs sure
Full of compassion and gracious
Plenty mercy, truth to us

"Teach me your way oh lord" - and how's the lord going to do that then? Unless it's all in your mind?
Yes, through our mind, our spirit, our conscience, I would say.
So he can't teach someone who hasn't been brainwashed into believing the christian version of things?
Well, it's enough for me anyway, having been asked more than once by folk 'Aren't you brainwashed?'
it seems to me your path is clear ... at least I can see where you are coming from ....
I was going to mention Monty Python's Ministry of Funny Walks .. but dont think I would have got away with it ....
Thanks Neville. Nope, not THAT way of the Python walk, but THIS way, as in the poem! Ya could walk in Old Yeavering, if ever ya are that way!
Your faith shines through the words Orchi.
Thanks Fay.
