Tune: Franconia (Konig)
('Blest are the pure in heart')
*********
Psalm 42 v.11
Why cast down, soul distressed?
Why heavy and depressed?
Hope you in God, I shall yet praise
Him, and joyful songs raise
Psalm 43 v.5
He is my strength, my health
In Him I find true wealth
He shall look on me, favour me
Uplifted shall I be
Psalm 44 v.8
In God we boast all day
We shall profit and say
You are our God,we will you praise
You wise in all your ways
Psalm 42 v.2
My soul does for God thirst
For I am blessed, not cursed
When shall I before God appear
Sense sure His presence near?
Psalm 42 v.8
Lovingkindness will you
Show me, will me renew
Day and night my song to Him be
The God of my life He
Psalm 41 v.12
You Lord do uphold me
In my integrity
You set me before your face e'er
I in your graces share

Another Sunday beaut Orchi
Thanks M.
Well, orchidee, if the pure in heart are blessed, I guess I don't even need to stand in line for that blessing!
Well written, as you always do.
Thanks Fred. Oh will flattery get me everywhere?! You mean you're 'good already', or 'not good enough'? You're a 'good man' in the general sense that people say it.:)
Amen.
Thanks G. Will you be best man at my wedding to KP? Boohoo, tears of misery. I've not much choice. It's marry her, or Shirley from Eastenders - Worzel Gummidge's sister! lol.
I will of course be best man, I will start planning my speech, It may go on for a little while to recall all your mishaps since you lost your pet dinosaur.
