Tune: Wiltshire
('Through all the changing scene of life')
Psalm 102 v.12-16
*********
You, O Lord, shall endure ever
Your years shall cease never
You shall be remembered through all
Generations great, small
You have arisen, have mercy
On Zion, it you see
For the time of her favour is
Come, 'tis appointed this
For your servants do take pleasure
In her stones, her treasure
Even the dust is precious for
You inhabit there sure
So the nations shall your name fear
Shall reverence you here
The name of the Lord, people too
Shall worship you anew
When the Lord His dwelling uptakes
He shall appear, He makes
His glory seen, it the city
Zion His choice, so be

Is that estate agent going to sell me a decent dwelling at a knock down price or wot?
Lol.
You know I went to a church once that was trying to sell its parishioners houses in heaven and if you didn't have enough money for a house you could buy a chair, the more you paid the closer to God you could sit. I used to bank with Zion's bank and that's for real. Great write Orchi
Doh! Thanks SB. A lady at a church, true, has a very 'money-name': Penny Money-Coutts (Coutts is the name of The Bank of the King and Queen and others, I think, in UK).
We have an incredible National Park named Zion. "The first European American settlers, Mormon pioneers, arrived in the area in the late 1800s. They named the area Zion, which is ancient Hebrew for “sanctuary” or “refuge.” The deep and spectacular canyons of this protected portion of the Virgin River Valley truly offer a safe haven to wildlife and humans alike". Now that you've had your geography/history lesson, let me say that it is heavenly, and God did some of his most spectacular work there. Beautiful Orchi!
Thanks B. I quite like geography. I had one of favourite teachers at school for my geog. classes.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
this reminds me of a bottle of whisky .. very spiritual ..
Thanks N. Not too spiritual there or I'll be round to add the water!
