Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, greetings!

I have recently written this song/hymn to a beautiful Irish melody and wish as many churches as possible to freely use it, as the Holy Spirit moves.

 

Letter of His Love  (to the tune of “Down by the Salley Gardens”)

 

The immortal and self-existent

Who made every quark and star

Has of his very own substance

A letter of his love sent

 

 

He understands you completely

And knocks at the door of your heart

He wants to come in so sweetly

And never from you part

 

 

For every moment of being

There is a choice to make

Whether of a path corrupting

Or of caring good to take

 

 

He understands you completely

And knocks at the door of your heart

He wants to come in so sweetly

And never from you part

 

 

He knows your dark thought hidden

And sees your vilest act

But to follow him are you bidden

To leave wrong for better track

 

 

He understands you completely

And knocks at the door of your heart

He wants to come in so sweetly

And never from you part

 

 

So choose the One who dying

Bled and suffered for your sake

Jesus who by death defying

Made the way for you to take

Yours in Christ,
