Embracing the Spirit's Flame #444

Embracing the Spirit's Flame In the heart where faith does dwell, A truth profound, a silent knell, Beyond the Law, beyond the scroll, The Spirit's whisper to the soul. Not bound by ink, nor stone, nor tome, But in the breath where love finds home, A bridge, a flame, a guiding light, Transforming darkest night to bright. The Law, the Testaments, our guide, Yet deeper waters do abide, Where Spirit's breath and heart entwine, Divine communion, love's design. In every action, thought, and deed, The Spirit plants a heavenly seed, A metamorphosis of heart, Where God's own wisdom it imparts. Love, grace, and wisdom, freely given, A path to walk, a way to live in, Beyond the text, beyond the rite, The Spirit leads us to the light. So let us heed this gentle call, To live a life that echoes all, The love, the service, sacrifice, In Spirit's flame, our hearts arise. Beyond the Law, in grace we stand, Guided by a holy hand, In unity with the Divine, Our souls in love's embrace entwine. Written by Steven G. Lee (March 2, 2024)
