Peace Through Prayers

orchidee



Tune: University College

('Oft in danger, oft in woe')

Philippians 4 v.6-8

********

Do be anxious for nothing

But in life, in every thing

By supplication and prayer

Bring needs to God, He is there

 

Adn with thanksgiving also

Pray, that God your requests know

Though He knows all things before

We ask them of Him, 'tis sure

 

And then the peace of God which

He shall give unto you rich

It past full understanding

But comfort to us does bring

 

His peace shall keep your hearts, minds

Through Christ Jesus, each one finds

Think on things true, just, honest

Pure, lovely, so you be blest

 

And on things of good report

Virtuous things to you brought

And anything praiseworthy

Pleasant, agreeable be

        I've been thinking about 2, it doesn't divide by 3. Unless of coarse you go to fractions,.
        Now I had to use my calculator and 2÷3 makes that number that promotes fear. Spooky.

                This is spectacularly written dear poet. I can only imagine you have like books and books full of your hymns. Quite the prolific poet, indeed!

                  Thanks Rocky. The trouble is, I'm gonna sing them all! Why does everyone says 'Argggh!? Cos it's me singing. lol.

                  I love the second last stanza, says it all. Great write!

                  • orchidee

                    Thanks Bella. Yes, though He knows all before we ask, we know it's not pointless to pray!
                    Not like some work meetings where it may be said 'The Manager/ess has decided what we're going to do anyway, whatever we discuss; we always do what he/she says anyway'. Doh!
