Mind Motivations

orchidee



Tune: Binchester

('Happy are they, they that love God')

Philippians 2 v.1-5

********

Exhorting to humility

Paul, he asks if there be

Any consolation, intent

Any encouragement

 

If there any comfort of love

From the Spirit, the dove

And if there any fellowship

Of the Spirit, friendship

 

And if any warm affection

And mercies, any one

To fulfil his joy, that we be

Like-minded graciously

 

And that we have the same love for

Each brother, sister sure

In Christ, agreeing in one mind

Blessings for others find

 

Esteem others better than self

Not only our own wealth

Look not only on self's own things

But what each in Christ brings

 

Let this mind be in us, which is

In Christ Jesus, true this

Life of love and humility

His service freedom be

      Love for all is Love for oneself
      A selfish love is a thorn
      A selfless love is happiness for itself
      In his garden
      We are roses that breed
      Happy and harmonious with bees
      A very good one Orchi
