('Father of mercies, in thy word')
John 16 v.19 - 28 parts
********
1. Jesus was from the Father sent
And to Him then He went
At His Ascension clouds they did
Receive Him, from us hid
2. But the Holy Spirit promised
Not forgotten, remissed
Sent upon us, and us indwells
We His life-giving wells
3. Prayer promises to us He gave
His nature e'er to save
Truly, truly, do ask in prayer
The Father, always there
4. There to accept prayers in the name
Of Christ His Son, the same
One who was with us on earth here
Does now in heaven appear
5. Appears now as our Advocate
Helps us early, not late
Whate'er we ask in Christ's name for
The Father will do sure
6. If it be we have asked nothing
Yet in His name, now bring
Your prayers, requests, and not delay
For bright shall be your day
7. Ask, and you shall receive, 'tis so
And joy full you shall know
Content to pray God's will, His way
Not our own wants or say
8. In that love relationship grow
Seek His commands to know
And obey by the Spirit's power
Enabling every hour

Lovely write
Thanks S.
"In that love relationship grow" and if one would learn to know, to really know, we wouldn't have near the casualties that we are counting from this world's failed, sexual revolution. Your poem of truth is highly relevant.
Thanks G.
Good write.
Thanks G. Obviously I dashed in without any prayers or ponderings in 1066. I just blundered in and said 'Look up'! Tee Hee. Well, I thought it was the best advice to give. doh!
