('Firmly I believe and truly')
Romans 10 v.8-11
******
If you shall with your mouth confess
The Lord Jesus Christ, no less
And shall believe in your heart true
God raised Him from dead anew
So you shall be saved, for 'tis so
Of heart and mind we may know
That with the heart man does believe
Thus God's righteousness receives
And with the mouth confession is
Made unto salvation, this
Word is not far from us, but be
In our mouth and our heart, see
For the Scripture says, Whoever
Believes on Him shall never
Be ashamed, but bright witness shine
Saved by Him, His grace diving

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7. format. 'Ashamed' in the last verse can also mean 'confounded' or 'confused' or maybe even 'having a bad hair day!'

I do appreciate your occasional explanations Steven ... Neville
Thanks Neville. And now a blow-by-blow account of........ whatever! I could have added 'confession' need not always mean confessing sins, but can also mean 'saying summat'. 'Fess up, spit it out, man, let's be hearing!' says Fido in his Colonel uniform, stiff upper lip, etc.
Bad hair day, that’s my middle name and middle life crisis ahahaha!
Thanks CB. lol.
