2Cor. 11-13. weakness

For even though I am weak and frail, feel like a ship sailing into a gale.

That weakness make me strong, for it is to the Lord I belong.

That really is my only claim, to any authority or fame.

So when I am weak and things go wrong, l depend on Christ to be strong.

Not claiming I have any right, to be honoured in your sight.

For my only confident claim, is like you I call on Christs name.

For God will test both you and me, to see if different from rest of humanity. .

So now just encourage each other , and I will send a christian brother.

John. 1:14-28

The God of heaven and earth, has come down to give new birth.

Though you come and ask just where, not recognising he is right here.

You come to me who feels so feeble. Compared to him who will give power to his people

While I stand in this desert place to make plain. There is no power unless you repent and call on his name.

Ps. 51

Lord have mercy, I am a failure all can see.

Blot out my sin, As I recognise the trouble I’m in

I always knew , I was sinning against you.

Help me for I cannot deny, l need your blood to purify.

Don’t take your Holy Spirit from me, so I can know forgiveness totally

My sacrifice , will never suffice.

But a broken heart, is what I need for a start.

When taking the eucharist, I know that is the first on my list.

Prov. 25:23-25

Good and bad news, can control views.
