Tune: St James (Courteville)
('Thou art the way, by thee alone')
Philippians 4 v,10-19 parts
*********
Philippians, they did help Paul
Though he did learn in all
States he was in, to be content
Whatever to him sent
Learning how to live humbly, see
And in prosperity
Every where and in all things
What each occasion brings
Whether to be full of hungry
Or abound, or needy
He can do all things through Christ, He
His strength and power be
Paul did fro mthem receive a gift
Not sole to him uplift
But that it shows fruti they produce
To their account's good use
He has enough, the gift received
Of it he true believed
It an aroma, as sweet smell
A sacrifice made well
And pleasing unto God it be
Paul says, God shall act, see
Meet all your needs through His riches
In glory by Christ, yes

Well my god is different to yours but i cant deny the similarity in your well versed finale.
Thanks dusk. One version says He will supply all your needs - as though He makes us needy, and gives us needs! But it doesn't mean that.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
