Tune: Winchester New

('On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry')

Matthew 16 v.21-23

********

Then Jesus did begin to show

To His disciples, they would know

How unto Jerusalem He

Must go in His destiny, see

 

That He would suffer many things

But his work it salvation brings

Suffer of elder and chief priests

And scribes, and be set as the least

 

And be killed, and be raised third day

These things He did unto them say

But Peter did Him then rebuke

Said, No, Lord, this is mere a fluke

 

Be it far from you, this shall not

Be so unto you, not your lot

But Jesus said to Peter, Get

Behind me, Satan, for not yet

 

Not yet have you understood here

Your thoughts to human ways do steer

You are an offence unto me

Saying the cross-way shall not be

 

You are not mindful of the things

That God in His plan, wisdom brings

Bu you think on things of men, they

No compatible with God's way

    Just before lockdowns were in vogue, we found ourselves by the banks of the Jordan, Jordanians on the other side; the international border, a bit of rope that languidly floated on the river pushed by the lapping wavelets a few inches here and a few inches there. The call is the same today- to enter the Promise. thanks for sharing.

        It don't say if the clip is of the Jordan or not. It might be a river that runs round the back of the Co-op for all I know! lol,
