Tune: Regent Square
('Light's abode, celestial Salem')
1 Peter 1 v.22-25
************
Seeing you have purified your
Souls in obeying truth sure
Through the Spirit unto sincere
Love of one another here
See that you love with a pure heart
Fervently in every part
Being born again from above
Through God your Father, His love
To you incorruptible seed
Planted in you, there no weed
Born again through God's word spoken
In Him new life for all men
And His word abides for ever
Perishes, decays never
For all flesh is as grass, glory
Of man as the flower be
The grass withers, the flower fades
Here man's little life displayed
But the word of the Lord endures
For ever, e'en evermore
And this is the same word which by
The gospel comes to you nigh
Follow after things eternal
Living in the Spirit full

lovely
Thank you F.
You're so welcome, my friend
Good stuff, Orchi. Though between all this salvation lately and tomorrow's Devilishly Dreadful, we're developing quite the theological neighborhood around here. 😂 Just keep WCAT away from the Dillywacker, evidently. Why? Just ask WCAT or tune into night for their "Absolutely Nothing Here" programming. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you T. WCAT is a fount of absolutely no wisdom at all, cos it tells us nothing! lol.
An encouraging write and a call to all to follow. Nicely written my friend.
Good one, O 👍🏻🕊️
Thank you A.
