[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

Galatians 5:13-15

Free to follow rule of love
– we’ve received love far above
all that we dared think to pray
– now he helps us love his way.

We’ve been freed to break from sin,
so our service can begin.
As the Father loves the Son,
selfish malice we now shun.

Even though the way be hard,
loved by God we sin discard,
try to love those who annoy,
helped by grace, supplied with joy.

Tune: 77 77 eg Monkland, tune of ‘Let us with a gladsome mind’

Thanks, HIlary. Glad you thought so! Came out of a helpful preaching by a young man who's hoping to come to help lead the work in our little chapel. He's an ex-footballer (injured) and a few years ago knew nothing about the Christian faith, and when his wife heard and believed, he resisted for a while, but then accepted the Lord and is vibrant and clear in his love for the faith and good news.

Good. We need to be reminded of these things. We should always think on good things, mercy, love, faith peace and hope. Grace and forgiveness.

All the best! Tom
