Tune: Leibster Jesu
('Dearest Jesu, we are here')
John 16 v.7-15
*******
Jesus said, Nevertheless
I tell you the truth, though will bless
I do need to go away
But Comforter will come one day
The Holy Spirit shall come soon
You shall know Him, to Him attune
If I go away, I will
Send Him to you, keep promise still
When He comes he will reprove
The world, and will them to move move
Will show of sin and righteousness
And of judgement and holiness
Will show them of sin for they
Believe not on me, go own way
Will show of righteousness, for
I go to my Father, no more
Shall you see me, for I shall go
Ascending to Him, shall be so
Will show of judgement, for he
The prince of the world (Satan), judged he be
He into all truth will guide
Spirit of truth in hearts reside
For He shall not of Himself speak
But my word speak to lowly, meek
For whatever He shall hear
Of me, He shall speak, so be here
And He will things to come show
Glorifies the Son, we will know
All that is the Father's, the Son
Has, the Spirit shows us each one

"I do need to go away" - very sad Orchi.............
Thanks Lorna. Sad in its setting. But you not gone away, have ya?! lol.
I'm only ever 1/2 connected to this earth Orchi............. and that's tenuous..... mentally I'm flying far away.............
Bible quotes. Perfectly.
Thanks Heart. I aim not to turn the poems into 'my version' of the Bible. Someone has done it with 'The Message' Version, and completely ruined things! Not that I'm against all modern things. But 'bravo' and 'whooppee' and similar things in a Bible seem crass.
Great work O
Thanks M. Seen Miss Berles? has she checked the syllables in this?!
She's been playing with glass balls with Ma Berles
“Marana tha” and “Come Holy Spirit, Come” we, in haste, ask for God’s presence. Today! Thank you for the inspiration and for following the will of the Holy Spirit in your vast catalog of writings.
Thanks Gary.
Ooh I know Lorna. Sometimes I'm half-human, half-guinea-pig, as in my pic!
great stuff my friend
Thanks Ron.
The Spirit is always with us.
Thanks Gold.
