Tune: St Timothy [Series: Hymns to Saints Tunes 5]
('O Holy Ghost, thy people bless')
John 2 v.19-22
*********
Jesus said, Destroy this temple
And I will build it all
In three days, I will it up raise
Shall be a cause for praise
And then the Jews did to Him say
At temple site that day
Forty six years was this temple
In building, those years full
And will you raise it up in three
Days? How shall this thing be?
But Jesus spake of the temple
Of His body, not wall [of the temple]
When therefore He was from the dead
Risen, what He had said
Was by disciples remembered
Scripture, word they had heard

The Jews must have been a little slow on the metaphor routine. Nicely written Orchi.

Good heavens, Orchi! Someone alert Popeyeus Glug Maximus Solus! He's been attempting to establish his own denomination, the First Reformed Church of the Holy Spinach! Membership currently stands at three...and two are cans! Diminishing stockpile…don’t want to see or smell the returns! 🤮🤣 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you T. lol.
