In the Flowing of the Spirit
a poem written to reflect the
inspiration of the pulpit message


The fluid of the Spirit
was embodied in His tears.
The desire for His tenderness
is rekindled in our fears.

Yes, our fears still subdue
though His word, in truth, commands
“Be not afraid, for I am with you;
I shall hold you in My hands.

As I cede My fleshly will
to My Father’s eternal plan
My feet, My heart, My side
are gifts you’ll come to understand.

Though you are often weak and weary
though your heart is oft forlorn
Know I Am is always near you
and will brighten each new morn.

©April 6, 2003

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
