Tune: St Stephen
('In Christ there is no east or west')
Psalm 34 v.14-19
**********
Depart from evil, and good do
Seek peace, pursue it too
The eyes of the Lord are upon
The righteous, e'en each one
His ears are open to their prayer
He comes to their welfare
But His face is against they who
Wickedness, evil do
He shall cut off the memory
From the earth, they nto be
Recalled, but He will judgement do
Deal with the evil true
The righteous call, and the Lord hears
And unto them He nears
Saves them out of all their trouble
For He does hear their calls
The Lord is nigh to them that be
Of broken heart, sadly
And saves such who be contrite, low
He each one's spirit knows

Ahh a poem or rather hymn of support, I'll vote for that. I can always use a little extra support from where ever it comes. Good write Orchi
Thank you SB.
Nice O 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊
Thank you A.
I just dialed emergency services. Help is on the way! 🤣 Okay, okay, just kidding! Wonderful hymn-poem my friend. Pet Fido, or his friend, for me! 🌹👏
Thank you T.
You're welcome, my friend! ❤️🙏
Here's a terrible joke - not as in 'corny' but as in 'dark joke': Someone phoned The Samaritans (or what is the equivalent of 24 hours helpline, always available, in USA) - but they were on strike! Doh! heehee. 'Naughty Orchi' says Fido.
LOL! 24 hr emergency services here in the USA is 911. I always used to kid with my daughters, "Do you know how to dial 911?" They would look at me with disdain every time! 🤣 A father's duty!
Excellent.
Thanks T.
A really captivating
and insightful
hymn poem, eloquently
penned my friend!! 🙏
Best regards ✌️ Thad
Thanks T.
Depart from evil and my mind travelled to the 80th anniversary this week, a reminder that there is great evil all around us. I hope the broken hearts that still remember find some solace. Nicely penned Orchi.
Thank you Cassie. Yes, still some survivors from those horrors.
Good one Orchi.
Thank you Gold.
