Tune: Saffron Walden
('Just as I am')
Psalm 94 v.17-23
*********
Unless the Lord my help had been
My soul had not by faith Him seen
But would have soon dwelt in silence
Not perceiving Him hence
When I said, My foot slips, mercy
Of the Lord held me up, so be
I stand again on solid ground
In Christ my life is found
In the multitude of my thoughts
Within me, your comforts, kind sorts
Delight my soul, O Lord, I see
Peace is restored to me
Shall iniquity share your throne?
Not so, for you do reign alone
They do mischief, and persecute
The righteous, their pursuit
But the Lord is my defence strong
He shall come help me, all along
And my God my refuge sure be
Rock of my safety He
He shall deal with wicked, and bring
Thier wrong upon their heads, each thing
The lord shall cast them off and they
Shall vanish, flee away

you seem to hymn poem an awful lot about justice and remorse, these days .. I suspect you might haveth a guilty conscience somewhat .. Neville
Thanks N.
Oh woe, is it justice that I married KP? I'm full of remorse that I did! lol.
Justice seems to have an old testament read to it. "An eye for an eye" But then there are a lot of movies that center around that. Some how it gives some sense of security. Good write Orchi.
