Tune: Woodlands
('Tell out my soul')
Adapated from a 'said' poem.
**********
Lion of Judah, commands, coherent
His power to break each chain inherent
Majetcially displayed, lion's pride strong
Yet proud in humility, suffering long
Beauty and honour and praise evermore
Set free from oppression, unlocks each door
We wonder, marvel at your awesome sight
You are God, King of Glory, Lord of Light
Your face appears inviting, not cruel, fierce
All shall look on you, you whom they did pierce
All-powerful One, with Omnipotence
In gentleness you call, say, Follow hence
Victorious you reign, over all high
Lord of everything, earth and sea and sky
Your standard of love be in every heart
Banner unfurled as you rule our each part
Your eternal victory, none withhold
Your will be done, and your kingdom unfold
[Lion of] Judah - Praise - your people do you proclaim
No end the triumph, your resplendent name

Heavy duty job. Works weekends as well? Gets double time or only time and a half? Nothing? Should call the Union....
Well, clergy only work one day a week, Sundays, so the old joke goes!
Clergy? Your 'good write' (Bella, below) woz addressed to 'God, King of Glory, Lord of Light' Wot's the duty statement for the clergy? Electrical contractors or something, are they? How do they keep the light on for the rest of the week?
Such a good write my friend, the image of the lion always inspires.
Thanks Bella.
