Tune: Spiritus Vitae
('O breath of life, come sweeping through us')
Mark 11 v.22-24
********
Jesus said, Have faith in God, for, see
Whosoever shall say, so be
To a mountain, be you now removed
Be cast into sea, faith is proved
Whether ranging from fig tree to mount
Whate'er size of problem we count
It can be changed through faith, but doubt not
In heart, if it small or large lot
If we shall believe that those things we
Say shall come to pass, we shall see
Shall have whatever we say, praying
The Lord shall give us each good thing
So, what things we desire when we pray
Believe that we receive them, lay
Needs all before the Lord, and we shall
Too be provided by Him well

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 9.8.9.8. metre. In this Rogation-tide. We might not move many literal fig trees or mountains (!), but I have sought to know the meaning for us today, behind Jesus' words here.

Strangely enough, I have only very recently re-planted a fig tree from the original tree my great grandfather grew from seed .. I was first given a cutting when I left home, got married and bought a house..
I have climbed plenty of mountains since then, but never yet moved or planted a single one ..........
Thanks N.
Ooh, I've given up fig roll biscuits. They're fatal for...... let's just say they move the, erm, mountains. TMI (Too Much Info) to say more. Just think syrup of figs.
When you sing does Fido howl out a melody for your next hymn/verse?
Thanks dusk. Yes he does. And when I sing, it's as another verse says: 'They said to the mountains and hills, Fall upon us to hide us' - from me singing!
God one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
