('Once, only once, and once for all')

Psalm 40 v.8-11

*********

Lord, may your will be our delight

And pleasing in our sight

Your laws be within our hearts, we

Your humble servants be

 

May we proclaim your righteousness

Reach out to others, bless

Not refrain to gospel news share

Treasures beyond compare

 

Not hide your righteousness within

Our hearts, show kith and kin

And too declare your faithfulness

And salvation, no less

 

Not conceal your loving kindness

But witness and confess

To all people, and Lord, withhold

Not your grace, us enfold

 

Continue your tender mercies

To us, each still them sees

Let them and your truth us all keep

Preserve us, we your sheep

        Bit of a bossy boots, aren't you when you speak to the geezer upstairs.....

        • orchidee

          Thanks D. It can seem so, in some of the Psalms - a bit of bossiness. It's pleas, and prayers to Him really.

          • Doggerel Dave

            Well a bit of plain speaking across the ether would do no harm, with less ambiguity. Some people who fall to their knees haven't got time for the subtleties, surely (though wot do I know...since my knees are far too tender to withstand that kind of activity).
