Fits tune and hymn name: 'Be still for the presence of the Lord'
Based on 1 Corinthians Chapter 1 part
********
We now preach Christ crucified, for He
Did die upon the tree
And then o'er the grave did rise again
Salvation for all men
He showed God's wisdom for
He obeyed His plan sure
A sign too, He showed God's mighty power
Delivers us each hour
That wisdom, sign, satisfaction be
To all Jews, Gentiles, see
Those Jews who did seek always for signs
Did fall on pleasant lines
And Gentiles wisdom sought
Christ to them He has taught
His plan of salvation now for all
Who on Him humbly call
Of God, Christ is made unto us sure
These graces evermore
Wisdom and righteousness these gifts fair
We may now in them share
Sanctification too
Redemption, made anew
And so as is written, it is this
Glory in Him, find bliss

THANKS BROTHER ~ For the very positive CHRISTIAN message you are sending out in these Hymn / Poems. Love this chorus ~ we sing it regularly in Church ~ and your poem based on it ! Well done good and faithful Servant ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN
It's difficult Soul. I may give to Africa, etc. I don't know the person in the USA. Well you may reply - I don't know the Africans either. I have my 'system' of giving though.
Oops don't shoot me down in flames. I corrected a typo. I put 'Chris' instead of 'Christ'! if you spotted it before, you may say 'Who's Chris'?!
Good write again Orchi. You have actually hit on one of the Hymns that I am going to have at my funeral (in many years time) Be Still is a special hymn to me which brings back wonderful memories.
Me too maybe G/F. We are both millions of years old already - or should I speak for myself only?!But we was both there in 1066. We remember when....... and so we recount the tale.
