Dan. 3-4
(King demands worship of him. Refusal so guys thrown in furnace. Saved. King then has dream. Dan tells will be humbled then restored)
The world may come and ask.
To do a dishonourable task.
Against my christian belief.
When l say no! He sends relief.
This will show the whole world
When into the fire I’m hurled.
He rescues and everybody will see
That those flames did not harm me.
Then the powerful proclaim.
How great is my name.
God knows what this all about.
He then reveals there is no doubt.
Who really rules worlds people.
He can make strong or feeble.
That the world will finally learn
It’s by grace not by what we earn.
Lk. 3:21-38. (Baptism and heritage of Jesus)
Amazing though seems a dream
God loves me I have seen.
For I have descended from him.
Now the Holy Spirit dwells within
Can now be in his ministry.
My past restrictions now set free.
Ps. 84. (great desire for more of God)
How wonderful Lord it is.
To be in your present is bliss.
Amazing that you favour me.
And l can now come to see.
What joy it is to know.
The light of your loves glow.
Again l do come and ask.
For I know I cannot mask.
My total dependants on you .
In the present struggles l view.
Prov. 2:16-10
Keep away from immoral women
You will be distracted by them.
