Tune: St Leonards
('May the mind of Christ my Saviour')
John 16 v.25-28 and v.33
**********
Jesus said, I tell you plainly
I did come forth, here now see
From the Father into the world
Now His plan unfurled
And I again shall to Him go
In my Ascension, this know
Shall go to my Father again
Soon it would be then
For He would His Father's will do
Life of Him, God's Son, we view
Risen from death, forth days more
He showed on earth sure
Though He did go, we may still pray
He will still hear us today
As promised, the Spirit He sent
Us, that His intent
He speaks to us, that peace we may
Have in Him from day to day
In the world troubles, but good cheer
He has o'ercome here

Did Fido write this? He's at it again you know, telling people what Jesus said when he wasn't even there to hear it. It'll all end in tears my friend.
Thanks dusk. Fido helped me write it yes. I admit I may 'put some words in people's mouths' to get the poetry to match and rhyme.
He did say it, so He did (bit Irish there, lol). Well, most of it, if you look up the verses.
Good read, Orchi. Shout out to Fido.
Thanks Jerry.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
that's almost another year behind me then ...
I must confess, I do find the biblical calendar most interesting Mr O.
Thanks Neville. I'm somewhat 'traditional', observing the Church Calendar, with Sundays, Saints Days, etc. But not as much as, say, Roman Catholics, with their many Saints Days. Some churches don't even know the church has a calendar!
Yes, Ascension soon - a gravity-defying feat. You ascended? You took off in a cloud, or puff of smoke?!
............................................ I like to imagine that I'm closer to enlightenment than I was this time last year ... Neville
