The Spirit

The spirit moves every day

As it shows you the way

It heals your soul

It makes you whole

It makes you smile

Even laugh a little while

It’s life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

It removes your fear

When you see God standing near

It reveals your divine purpose

Before it rises to the surface

It gives you a place

Filled with mercy and grace

It sits in the home

Where you soul can roam

It’s the encouraging word

You’ve always heard

It gives you strength

As you talk with God at length

It builds you up

It fills your cup

It gives you a name

As it removes your shame

It offers you something to hold

As your story is told

It travels with you

It shows what God can do

It offers moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

It overflows with love

From heaven above

It offers perfect peace

Your heart won’t release

It shows what’s by design

It shows everything is fine

It shows what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

It teaches you to live

It teaches you to give

It shows how far you can go

As you share what you know

It reveals God’s power

Hour after hour

The spirit

Lonely

Sitting in silence

As various thoughts come to mind

Just wondering what I’ll find

Hearing nothing but God’s voice

Before I begin to rejoice

Getting through each day

Knowing God will make a way

Longing for someone to hold

Hoping my story will be told

Praying for strength

As I talk with God at length

Continuing to travel

Hoping my soul doesn’t unravel

Learning to stand

As I take God’s hand

Waiting for a kiss

Too hard to resist

Longing for a touch

That means so much

Wondering if love is the purpose

I see lying at the surface

Looking into my heart

To see where I should start

Faith shows what’s for me only

So, I’ll never be lonely

Opening my eyes

To a wonderful surprise

Falling then rising again

Knowing with faith I’ll win

Grappling with fear

Until I see God standing near

Looking straight ahead

While filled with dread

Until God sets my path

Without unleashing His wrath

Getting turned around

Until I find solid ground

Following the light

That shines day and night

Longing to heal my soul

Wanting to be made whole

Learning to smile

Even laugh a little while

Finding a home

Where my soul can roam

Finding a heart that beats with mine

Seeing everything is fine

Seeing what’s for me only

Knowing I’ll never be lonely
