Tune: Laus Deo
('Bright the vision that delighted')
*********
Psalm 52 v.8
I am like a green olive tree
It be by God's mercy, see
His mercy I trust in ever
Nought from Him can me sever
Psalm 54 v.5
God is my helper, and the LORD
Is with them, true is His word
With them that do my soul uphold
So His graces thus be told
Psalm 55 v.6
Though sometimes I wish I had wings
To escape what trouble brings
Then I would fly away, and be
At rest, and from troubles free
Psalm 55 v.22
Yet I abide, cast my burden
On the LORD, He will help then
Shall sustain me, not allow me
To be moved, steadfast I be
Psalm 56 v.4
In God I will praise His word sure
It be truth for evermore
In God I will trust, will not fear
What men may do to me here
Psalm 57 v.1
Have mercy on me, O God, I
Shall trust you though troubles nigh
In shadow of your wings abide
'Til troubles o'er, there reside

Beautiful truth written..
Thanks Floreann.
The word of god you refer to here. Regurgitated by man or made up by man.... and in any case, which version?
In the end it's just a faith in a certain set of ethics, the detail has been messed around with into a patchwork of lies and conveniences to control the minds of feeble men and women largely by the inset of fear in childhood.
Thanks for looking in dusk.
"T" times 3.......... any more trouble and it would swallow me........
