Tune: Alleluia, Dulce Carmen
('Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing'
= 'For the healing of the nations')
John 20 v.24-29
St Thomas Day - 3 July.
**********
Jesus to disciples appeared
When risen, He to them neared
But first time Thomas was not there
Did not Jesus' presence share
The disciples to him they said
We saw the Lord, He not dead
Thomas said, Except that I see
Him in person, so it be
See His hands and print of the nails
Put my finger there, no fails
And put my hand into His side
I will not believe, confide
Eight days later disciples there
Together, Thomas did share
In the room Jesus did appear
Said, Peace, They did see Him clear
He said to Thomas, Reach here your
Finger, behold my hands sure
And reach here your hand, and it place
In my side and my wounds trace
Be not faithless, unbelieving
But my witness believing
Thomas said to Him, You my Lord
And my God, true is your word
Jesus said, Thomas, because you
Have seen me, you believe true
And blessed they who have not seen me
In person physically
Yet have believed by faith in me
Trusting by faith they do see

Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold. Blessed are they who have not heard my singing, yet believe it's awful! lol.
A Beauty ❤️
Thanks T. I sing to KP - to torture her! lol.
Tanks for posting Mr. O 🐭🐧👍
Thanks N.
Great piece Steven, I used to be a doubting Thomas,
But after I surrendered myself to the Lord and truly believed wholeheartedly, my entire life changed for the better
Thanks Thomas, erm, Melissa!
😆 😂 😆 😂 😆
It's a pity in a way. If one of the other disciples were not there the first time, it could have been 'Doubting Peter' or 'Doubting John' that went down in history. Though Thomas did believe in the end. I doubt KP always! lol.
Hahahahaha, I think you always will,
Doubt what she really looks like under all the botox
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm horrible to her. She's still with The Old Trouts Club. lol.
