Andrew's Aspirings - Twelve Disciples Series - 1

orchidee



Tune: Dundee (Ravenscroft)

('O God of Bethel')

John 1 v.35-42

*********

Andrew did first his brother find

And in his mercy kind

Told him, Peter, that they had found

Messiah, joys abound

 

And so to Jesus he him brought

For Andrew Him had sought

Asked Him, 'Where is it you abide?'

Where your presence reside?

 

Messiah He, Anointed One

Jesus, the Father's Son

Promised from old, through prophecy

In person they did see

 

So grant us grace others to bring

To you our Lord and King

That they too shall salvation know

And in your footsteps go

 

Christ, the Anointed, a title

Did the Scriptures them all

Fulfil. one chosen by God true

Came to save even you

    Thanks STEVE ~ The 12 Disciples ~ wonderful topic and one i often used for devotions with Teenagers on Residentials ! Each one a CHARACTER in HIS own right and each with a lesson to teach us. My fave is PETER so Spiritual and yet so HUMAN and a fisherman as well ! There is a LIVING BIBLE Exhibition in the USA where you can sit down with PETER and have a real heart to heart with HIM ! When I visited His Tomb in Rome I felt as much moved as when I visited JFK's in Arlington Cemetery USA ! Both died before I was born ! Loved the tune and actually sang along with it ~ you got the metre right ~ AMEN ! You are a Blessing sharing all your Knowledge of the GOOD BOOK with us each day ~ AMEN (again !) Yours BROTHER ~ BRIAN

      Thanks Brian. My deliberate mistake?! There were more than 12 disciples! Jesus named 12 of them as Apostles! heehee. A study guide-book thought to take Andrew first, with his evangelistic outlook. His brother (in his human and heaven families) was Peter.
      Both died while I still alive - I expect! Peter and JFK.
