('Oft in danger, oft in woe')
Colossians 1 v.25 - 2 v.5 part
**********
Lord, help us to grow perfect
In your image, though not yet
Have we attained, but we go
On more to your presence know
That perfection, completeness
Maturity, holiness
Growing spiritually we
Sons, daughters of God here be
Warning and admonishing
Wise teaching in everything
Praying fervently, not slack
Labouring that none may lack
Depending on your power
Gifts and graces in us flower
Spreading the gospel, good news
You ordain us, you us choose
Mystery revealed it be
Christ in us, hope of glory
Shared with all who hear His call
Many believe, they not fall
Firm in faith, in readiness
Orderliness, steadfastness
Riches to discover more
Progress in Him, you not poor

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7777 metre. Some Bible margin references often help me, e.g. 'perfect' means mature, whole, complete, etc. Of course, no one's perfect yet - except me - *eats humble pie for saying that!* (hee hee!).

You never fail Orchi.
Thanks STEVE ~ Colosians a letter of great encouragement ! The Good Book teaches "The path of the JUST is like a shining light that increases Day by Day ~ AMEN ! As Christians we are marching upward to ZION ~ AMEN. The title of the Hymn sounds like ENGLAND in the SIX NATIONS ~ maybe they should swap that for SWING LOW ! Although they couldn't have swung much lower last week ! BRIAN !
Thanks Brian - yes, going on to perfection. I'm already there, of course! Well, 99%? Only one more step for me to make. heehee. Cut me a large slice of humble pie. I'm getting too big for me boots! lol. Are you 'oft' in danger and woe there?!
NO THANK GOD ~ But the England Rugger Team are and also the GOVERNMENT ! You don't mess with PUTIN ~ especially now he is TSAR for another FIVE YEARS ~ He prefers the Soft Fur Hat Treatment ~ not the BORIS BASH ~ Yours Brian (An Endangered Species !)
May our Faith never die.
