Tune: St Fulbert
('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')
Mark 11 v.22-24
******
Jesus said, Have faith in God, for
I say to you true, sure
That who to this mount shall say
Be you removed this day
And be you cast into the sea
Thence ne'er to rise, so be
Whoso shall not doubt in their heart
From belief not depart
But if believing that those things
Which they say, no doubtings
But believing that what they say
Shall come to pass some way
Such ones shall have whate'er they say
So Jesus says today
What things soever you desire
When you to prayer aspire
Believe that you those things receive
Hold on, and still believe
And you shall have them, God's good time
Be seen in life's fine rhyme

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. for this Rogation Wednesday ('Asking Wednesday'). We might not all be seeking to move a 'mountain', but maybe smaller things. But persevere on!

I wish KP would be uprooted and cast into the sea sometimes - but she never does! lol. She's my 'mountain' - more in the sense of ball and chain on my leg though. heehee.
You prayers have to be in God's will.
Thanks 2.
perseverance is a strategy for life, not just for christmas and I would wholly endorse the practice of it throughout ..
Thanks N. Ignore my daftness about KP - everyone does! lol.
My father was a believer in the moving of mountains he worked in a mine. He said "we move a little bit each day and faith without works is dead"
Thanks SB.
