Hymn 117

Nditarire nokufara
Ishe wangu
Ndimi makazondifira
Ishe wangu
Makasiya denga renyu
Makazvideredza chose
Kuti mugondiponisa
Ishe wangu.

Ndandigere mune rima
Ishe wangu
Ndaienda kuno rufu
Ishe wangu.
Dzakauya nhume dzenyu
Kuti ndinzwe dama renyu
Dzandiudza tsitsi dzenyu
Ishe wangu.

Ngandinzwiswe ngoni dzenyu
Ishe wangu;
Ndive muponiswa wenyu
Ishe wangu
Zvakaipa ngazvipere
Mwoyo wangu utsveniswe
Inzwai mundiregerere
Ishe wangu!

Mbiri ngaive kuna Baba, nokuMwanakomana, nokuMweya Mutsvene.

Amen.

Mwari Kudzwai Nekusingapere

Ndinokutendai Mwari Baba wedu vari kudenga
Mune ngoni dzisingapere
Ndinokukumbirai muve neni zuva ranhasi; ndiregerereiwo zvitadzo zvangu zvose.
Ndiropafadzei neMweya Mutsvene, ndikunde zviyedzo zvese, ndibudirire pane zvose zvandiri kuita kubusiness rangu nekumba kwangu;
Ndipei simba nenjere; ndipei rombo rakanaka; ndipei kutenda; ndipei ruzivo; ndidzivirireri pavavengi vangu;
Dzingai Satan abve kwandiri. Kudzwai nekusingapere kuburikidza naJesu Kristu Mwanakomana wenyu neMweya Mutsvene.
Amen.

Your silver perish with you

From the Acts of the Apostoles

When the apostles at Jerusalem heard that many Samaritans had received the word of God and been baptised, but that the Holy Spirit had not yet fallen on any of them, they sent Peter and John. The two laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. When Simon saw this, he offered them money. "Give me this power, "he said, "that any one on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."

Peter said to Simon "Your silver will perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money. Repent and pray to the Lord that, if possible, this may be forgiven you. For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquity."

Hymn 202

Wouya, wouya, Mucheki mukuru,
Vanhu vachaona Ishe wokudenga;
Vangazomutswa vari kumakuva,
Kuti vaonekwe vose pakachena.

Mucheki ndJesu wakatambudzika,
Kuti vaponiswe norudo rwaBaba,
Avo vakamuda havachatongiswa
Nokuti vamire naIshe wedenga.

Asi vasingadi kunzwa dama rake,
Rokuti vadzoke pane chakaipa,
Vakatozvikona oamberi poM’cheki
Vakatozvipinza pakutambudzika.

Ngatidzoke tose pakuipa kwedu,
Tinzwe izwi erake, tinamate tose,
Ishe ari apno anotsvaka iwe,
Inguva nazvino, uya ugam’chire.

Amen.

Thankfulness

Thank you Lord for this day. Thank you for my children. Thank you for Takunda, Michelle and Genius. Takunda has sent me a present to mark Father's Day. She sent me 'a book called 'God's Words of Life For Dads'. Gene and Michelle bought me a card and toblerone chocolate! Today I exercised a lot in the morning, by cycling on my bicycle before it developed problems and had to be written off. I then wne t to Erith sports centre to play football - alone! Being World Cup season, it was quite the spirit! I did what I had to do - kick the ball and run after it kick it
again going round the playground, had some rest and resume until I was breathless and sweating. I think I had reached my highest perceived level of exertion maybe 8 or 9 if not 10!

For all that I thank God. Then I moderated some coursework until hayfever took over control of me - sore eyes, a headache, drowsiness, being weak and had to sleep it off for a good three hours. I have just received a call from Mr Ceasar Marange, one of my very supportive AVCE students. He was returning my call which he missed on the train. Had a good chat about the France vs South Korea game now playing with France leading with 1-0. Now I am going back to resume moderating until I go to bed. Good night.

Thank you Lord.

Psalm 37 Fret not yourself because of the wicked

Fret not yourself because of the wicked,
benot envious of wrongdoers!
For they will soon fade like the grass,
and wither like the green herb.

Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so you will dwell in the Land, and enjoy security.
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
He will bring forth your vindication as the light,
and your right as the noonday.

Hymn 68 Ndinobva kwamuri

Ndinobva kwamuri, ndoenda kudenga,
Ndoenda kuimba yaBaba;
Mumba yavo tsvene, imba yorufaro,
Ndinokugadzirirai nzvimbo.

Kana ndichienda, ndinozouyazve,
Handikusiyeyi muri moga;
Asi ndinozokugamchirai ini,
Kuti mugovapowo pandiri.

Iri’zwi raMambo, izwi rorufaro,
Farai, VaKristu farai!
Ishe wakaenda asi achadzoka,
Apinze kudenga imi mose.

Ipapo tinozogara pautsvene,
Navazhinjizhinji chokwadi;
Tinozoimbawo, tiri pamwe chete,
Tichikudza Ishe wokudenga.

Pazvirevo zvenyu Ishe
