Tune: Heinlein
('Forty days and forty nights')
Psalm 38 v.18-22
********
I will my sin now declare
To you, Lord, with you it share
In my sorrow, forgive I
Ask you to do by and by
But my enemies are strong
Though I do after you long
They are vigorous, lively
Seeking now to trample me
They also that evil give
Unto me for good, I live
Following things that good be
But they taunt me constantly
Forsake me not, O LORD, you
My God are, I know it true
Be not far from me, help bring
LORD, you save, to you I sing

If you sing to your lord he/she will disown you!
Thanks Gold. Oohh!
I don't understand why people are telling you not to sing. God forgives everyone doesn't he?
Erm, yes, thanks SC.
What have you been up to sinner?
Thanks dusk.
Just wondering, does God have a set of ear plugs? 😉
Thanks AP. Yes, lol.
Good write, Orchidee.
Write a Talking Blues or a Rap then you don't have to sing.
Thanks Jerry. lol.
