('Now is eternal life')
Psalm 145 v.14-20
***************
The Lord He does uphold
Those that fall, does enfold
Them, and too up raises
Those bowed down, so praises
To Him for His help, sustenance
For we through troubles may Him sense
The eyes of all do look
Wait on Him, not forsook
Are they, and He does give
To all food, so we live
He opens His hand, satisfies
Desire of all things, no denies
The Lord He is righteous
In all His ways to us
In all His works holy
And with wisdom they be
The Lord is nigh to all who call
On Him in truth, shall hear them all
He will desire fulfil
Of those that fear Him still
With godly awe, and He
Will hear their prayers, so be
And He will save, preserve those who
Love Him, He will surely so do

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.6.6.6.8.8. (1) Good news in some health matters - a couple recovered; one clear, after tests. (2) Some ongoing, depending on what choices a person may make. (3) And some distressing news of one who is poorly. I wrote this poem with (1) and (2) having happened recently.

May your faith always sustain you in both good and bad times Orchi. An uplifting and spiritual hymn of praise. Have a peaceful Sunday.
Thanks Cassie.
Ok Orchi I can now say I have done my Sunday service. Nicely written my friend
Thanks SB.
Think this style suits you orchi.......
Thanks Dave. Only thing wrong is that it's ME singing it - screech, howl, squeak. That's me, not Fido or those giant hamsters. lol.
Ah - don't put yourself down; Let the world know you are here......... world can makeup its own mind......
It's another of my daft jokes - pretending I can't sing! lol.
Woverly. Me wikes. Dis iz a pritty rendering, a tad bit more convoluted than the original unto which it harks, and me guesses you were downright charming when you gave music to it. Many thanks for sharing.
Thanks CM.
Good one Orchi.
