Tune: Old Hundredth
('All people that on earth do dwell')
Philippians 4 v.4-7
*******
Rejoice in the Lord for always
Again I say, Rejoice all days
Let your moderation be known
Balanced life to all folk be shown
For the Lord is at hand, so be
Anxious for nothing, He will see
To your needs, so in everything
Your requests unto the Lord bring
In your supplications and prayers
With thanksgiving, needs with Him share
And the peace of God you shall find
And that His true mercies are kind
His peace passes understanding
It shall keep your hearts, minds, each thing
Through Christ Jesus our Lord, His Son
God will hear, answer you, each one

Sadly, despite what we might be hearing, there just isn't enough of it about ..
I'm talking peace, while others may just be pretending .. we shall just have to wait and see ..
Good message tho Orchidee ..

Thanks N.
Beautiful message!
Thanks GS.
Mate, I go along with at least some of your hymns because I respect your sincerity.
But your second stanza is pure rocking horse excrement. Look around at the world, why doncha,
Not bad over here.
Get off - not bad for whom?

I like the idea that gratitude should be voiced. It simply should precede any asking. Too often prayers are only asking. Good write Orchi
Thanks SB. Yes, at times prayers might become like a bit of a shopping list.
