The Hundred and Third.

Douglas Blair 1951 (London)

Bless Him
Bless Him always
For His Mercy
Our loving Lord.
He has set aside
Children’s iniquities.
Guiltless. Healed. Restored.
He has saved all of wrath
For the careless
For the faithless
Too busy to come.
But we know
We have place
In His Kingdom.
Never earned.
Freely taken by some.
And they praise
Loving kindness
Unimagined.
And they rise to a Heavenly Home.


All ideas with thanks to King David…shepherd, musician, warrior. Psalm 103.
