Friendship Fondness

orchidee



Tune: Oh how I love Jesus

('There is a name I love to hear')

*******

Jesus, constant companion

Who leaves the sheep not one

But seeks the lost, though they have strayed

Need no more be afraid

 

Chorus

Jesus, He is Saviour and Lord

He ever has the living word

His love it reaches unto all

All on His name may call

 

You leave us not, our help and guide

Within us you reside

By your Spirit, holy is He

Our comfort, strength He be - Chorus

 

Choosing to give your life that we

From our sins be set free

You forgive, restore, make us whole

In body, spirit, soul - Chorus

 

May our hearts be moulded to you

Know you compassions new

Each fresh new day along your way

Stay with us, we do pray - Chorus

 

And trusting that you faithfully

Shall stay, and our needs see

Provide for us our daily bread

By you our Shepherd led - Chorus

 

Change us where hard, impenitent

Grant gace that we repent

Tun to you in commitment sure

Friends with you evermore - Chorus

    Thanks STEVE ~ for a perfect hymn and a perfect poem in the same metre ! I had to download the Hymn from You Tube but it was worth it to see & hear the Message "O how I love JESUS ~ because He first loved ME ~ AMEN" Yours BRIAN

      Thanks Brian. Oops yes, some clips you have to download. They might not appear immediately on screen.

      orchidee, you must be all torn up. Here you are loving two people so much: Jesus and KP! Maybe you should stick to Jesus, since He loved you first!

      • orchidee

        Thanks Fred. But oh, KP said she was going to give me her undying love. Now all I got is this literal heavy ball and chain. She put it on my leg and threw away the key. So I chucked out her Botox. She will go all saggy soon. I can't say where she will go saggy, or I will swoon! lol.

        Your output never ceases to astound - you are a dedicated poet sir!

        • orchidee

          Thanks Michael. It's terrifying though - the more I write, the more I'm gonna sing them. Oh no, who can bear it?! It'll be a torment to all. heehee.

        • Goldfinch60

          Amen.
