Tune: Hereford
('O thou who camest from above')
Colossians Chapter 4 part
*********
Continue in prayer, watch in the same
With thanksgiving in Jesus' name
Praying for one another, we
Shall share the gospel bold and free
Witnessing to all, words and deeds
Pray gospel message each one heeds
Walk* wisely towards everyone (*=live)
Following steps of Christ the Son
Redeem the time, it do not waste
Yet taking time, not hurry, haste
Speaking always with grace, seasoned
With salt, not human plans reasoned
Pray that each stand perfect, complete
In all the will of God, this meet
Experiencing our blessed state
Fullness in Christ, we not be late

Amen.
Thanks Gold.
The last stanza rocks. Well done once again.
Thanks Nicholas.
"We not be late" - made me think of a card I bought once. Two dinosaurs watching Noah's ark sail away and one says to the other: "Damn was that today!" Too late!
And after they were just out of the harbour Noah scratched his head and said: 'Damn, I could have sworn I only allowed two rabbits aboard! '
Oh lol Lorna. A bit olde-fashioned that line, but had to get something to rhyme with 'state'.
Thanks Michael. Erm yes, and the other animals (and humans) 'multiplied'. C'mon now you poets, I can't explain 'multiplied' to you, as I shall faint! heehee.
And you 'walking' properly there, Michael, or you bow-legged or something?!
