Liberty To Love

orchidee



Tune: Glenfinlais

('Daises are our silver')

Galatians 5 v.13-16

*********

Brothers, sisters, you be

Called to liberty

But use it not for to

Sinful works to do

 

But by love do now serve

Unity preserve

Serving one another

Each brother, sister

 

For the law is fulfilled

Summarised, God-willed

In this, You shall love your

Neighbour as self sure

 

But if you bite, argue

One another, you

If you each devour

You kill off life's flower

 

If you do so, selfish

Then take heed of this

That you be not consumed

Despair, life not bloomed

 

Do live in the Spirit

Your path each day lit

By Him, your daily walk

With Him fellowship, talk
