IF ~ I have wounded anyone today
IF ~ I have caused someone to go astray
IF ~ I have walked in my in my own wilful way
DEAR LORD FORGIVE !
IF ~ I have spoken idle words or vain
IF ~ I have ignored those in Want or Pain
LEST ~ I should suffer through the strain
DEAR LORD FORGIVE !
FORGIVE the Sins ~ I have confessed to THEE
FORGIVE my secret Sins my Friends don't see
GUIDE Me ~ Love Me and My Keeper be
DEAR LORD FORGIVE !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX
As you know I am a committed Christian ~ but that does
not make me PERFECT ! I am filled with God's Holy Spirit
which enables me to be Loving ~ Joyful ~ Peaceful etc ~
BUT I can also choose to be Lustful ~ Miserable and a cause
of dissent ! So at the end of each day I pray this Prayer to
ask God's forgiveness for any negative attitudes ! On his
CD Jim asks us to carry this Prayer with us ! When I give
talks on Jim Reeves I include this Prayer in my handout !
My POEM is based on the lyric by C M BATTESBY ~ OK !

None of us is perfect but even if none believers followed Jesus' way the world would be a different palce.
They are indeed the basic principles of life whether or not you believe and, as Andy says, if only they were adopted by all.
AMEN ANDY & MIKE ~ Thanks for your comments ! In the UK The Scouts is still essentially a Christian Movement and many Groups still meet in Churches ! However the positive attitudes ~ embodied in the 10 Scout Laws are the basic tenets of HUMANISM and SOCIALISM ! Sadly such altruism is missing in the ME FIRST and MATERIALIST attitude of the 21st C ! Yours Optimistically ~ BRIAN !
Ohh you're 99% perfect I expect! heehee. A fine write there.
THANKS STEVE ~ I am still a Saint in Progress ~BUT ~ When I get to GLORY ~ This MORTAL shall put on IMMORTAL and this IMPERFECTION shall put on PERFECTION and I shall be clothed in CHRIST's RIGHTEOUSNESS ! Then I shall be 100% perfect ~ AMEN ~ Yours ~ Brother BRIAN
Mio Caro Amico BRIAN,
Un bel messaggio!
A beautiful message.
All I want to say is...

take much effort!
