Tune: All for Jesus
('Holy Spirit, come, confirm us')
John 14 v.26-27
*********
Jesus said, The Comforter, He
The Spirit, our Helper be
Our Advocate, the Paraclete*
Shall come to us, shall us greet
The Father sends Him in the name
Of Jesus, from heaven He came
He shall teach us all things, guiding
Us with wisdom in each thing
And shall bring to our remembrance
Whatsoever, give us sense
What things Jesus has to us said
In His way we shall be led
And Jesus His peace with us leaves
Each may of that peace receive
Not as the world gives, does he give
But lasting peace, so we live
Let not heart be troubled, afraid
Jesus, He for us has prayed
That the Spirit us empower
For to serve Him every hour
---------
* Paraclete - one called alongside to help.

there is no comfort in uncertainty .. so I shall agree with you on this one .. maybe
Thanks N. Not Parakeet - and neither are they giant hamsters in my pic, as some suppose!
It's not the pope
Nooo, never! A human can't be infallible.
Call no one teacher...
I understand, teacher! lol.
Erm, what do I call those at school who impart knowledge, information, etc to us?
Note to self - Now come on Orchi - get the message! lol.
Lost?
I feel I know what you mean though - over-reliance on the Pope. He is not our Father, or else he is God. And he is not our physical father either.
Call no one Father.
Not even me Dad?!
How old is your dad?
In his early 90's.
You once called me a young man
I can't say it was me. Must have been someone else.
And can we call anyone Mother? lol.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
