Tune: Duke Street
('Fight the good fight')
John 1 v.43-51
********
Nathanael, he was thought to be
By many Bartholomew, he
Apostle of Christ, 'neath fig tree
Jesus found him, and him did see
Spiritual discernment shown
Seeds of wisdom were in him sown
When Jesus did to him appear
He gave respect in godly fear
For he did call Jesus, Rabbi
Knew that his master, He was nigh
And too said, Son of God are you
And King of Israel, ever true
Jesus foresaw him under tree
In a state meditatively
That was enough to convince him
He came to faith, not fancy whim
Lord, help us as Bartholomew
To believe, and our faith renew
Growing in grace, knowledge, live sure
All riches of your treasure-store

Good write Orchi.
It is good to hear the tune that you had at your wedding to KP.
Thanks gold. Yes, I had that huge choir at my wedding too! I'm still fighting - to get this ball and chain off me leg!
Great write
Thanks Tony.
