Tune: Duke Street
('Fight the good fight')
1 John 1 v.8-10
**********
If we say we have fellowship
With God, profess to Him worship
But live in sin, darkness, we lie
Practise not the truth, not us nigh
But if we do live in the light
As God is in the light, clear sight
We have fellowship, each other
With each sister and each brother
And too the blood of Jesus Christ
God's Son for us it be sufficed
To cleanse us from all sin, so we
Shall live and shall forgiven be
If we say we have no sin we
Deceive ourselves, and the truth be
Not in us, but if we confess
God is faithful, He shall us bless
Faithful and just to us forgive
To cleanse us from sins, pardon give
And take away unrighteousness
Accepted in His sight no less
If we say that we have not sinned
Yet God's true word does not rescind
But we make Him a liar, know
And His word is not in us so

Deceiving ourselves seems to be our favorite pastime. Good write, Orchi a fine reminder.
Thanks Jerry.
Regardless of whether you can beat an egg, or not ..
You can't beat a bit of good fellowship🐧🐭
Thanks N. I deceive myself all the time, but am oblivious to it, cos I say 'Oh yes, I sing really well!' lol.
Any stray cats in that joint? Dogs and G.P.Ds. can sniff ‘em out!
Thanks James.
Sorry about the inappropriate humour.
