Tune: Charity
('Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost')
Psalm 60 v.9-12
*********
Who will bring me to strong hold?
So your power shall be told
Will not you, O God, though we
Cast off by you be?
Yet return, and to us look
Leave us not bereft, forsook
We pray help us, deliver
Unto our help stir
Will you not, O God, forth go?
Wit hour armies, we shall know
Your help, presence all along
Shall rejoice in song
Give us help from trouble for
Vain is the help of man sure
Through God we shall battles win
And have peace within
Through God we valiantly
Shall do, and too we shall see
He it is that shall tread down
Enemies renown

Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold. Running out of poems here! Shall I do an anthology '500 poems of life with KP'?! All under the genre 'Horror'. lol.
they say gone with the wind but I'm sticking with the finch ..
Thanks N. You know the finch fella?!
Another great hymn marching forth with the aid of the Lord whether before us or behind us.
Thanks SB. Only He can be both places at once. I tried it, but didn't know if I was coming or going. lol.
Nicely done Orchi. A battle song. With God on our side. I’m all for peace. Have a happy Wednesday.
Thanks Cassie. They were real, I suppose, saying at first that He has forgotten or deserted them.
Mrs Botox never deserts me. I'm her piggy-bank for botox. lol.
She's very naughty - true - not turned up in court; missed it more than once. She's 46, so it says. Oh yeah?! More like 146. lol.
We must pick our battles, hopefully they are the righteous ones. Good Write!
Thanks B. I battle with KP every day. Do I always lose? lol.
Very powerful.
Thanks SZ.
Beautiful.
Thanks T.
