Living In Geneva In the 1550s
This is an interesting subject matter
so many things come into your mind
having been to Geneva while on holiday
such a beautiful; city was I to find
Geneva was the centre of the reformation
way back in the 1550s that was the time
when God by His spirit was at work
people were being changed, all did rhyme
God's chosen instrument preached His truth
in power and persuasion for everyone's good
that instrument John Calvin, I wished to hear
living there then wish been there just stood
What a treat every day just to hear
in these days preaching came every day
a sheer joy fills full my heart
would just in Geneva want to stay
The 1550s would be really so different
no pc, medicine, fridge, or water supply
but evidence of God changing lives
amazing indeed, to be there before I'd die
(My favourite period of history would be the time of the reformation in the 1550s and being in Geneva in the beautiful land of Switzerland. I would wish to have lived then, really amazing to have been there in that great city of culture in Geneva.)
