Tune: Wolvercote
(one tune to 'O Jesus, I have promised')
Colossians 1 v.9-14
***********
Praying for one another
Christian sister, brother
Desiring that each be filled
With knowledge of God's will
In all wisdom and spiritual
Understanding, the call
Of Christ to faithfully follow
And more of His life show
That we might live worthy here
Knowing the Lord is near
Be pleasing to Him, fruitful
In good works daily all
And increasing in knowledge
Of God, and encourage
Eacho other on to in Him grow
On this earth here below
Strengthened with all might, in accord
With His power assured
It glorious is, and unto
Enduring trials through
With all patience, longsuffering
Whatever life may bring
Accompanied with joyfulness
When troubled, pray and bless
Giving thanks to the Father
For He has made us sure
To take part of inheritance
Of saints in the light hence
Has delivered us from power
Of darkness, saved each hour
Translated us to kingdom
Of His dear Son, fulsome
In His Son we redemption
Have, 'tis true for each one
Through His blood, e'en forgiveness
Of sins, He does us bless
So labouring on daily
Spirit, fill completely
Our lives to serve and honour
You, on us grace confer

Tell me, does the body get stronger as the race gets longer?
Thanks 2. Well, the spiritual body might (our soul and spirit).
You continue in faithful hymns Orchi each reminiscent of scriptures and spiritual teachings. It seems hardly fair that your muse is a book as long as the Bible.
Thanks SB.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
