Embracing the Spirit’s Truth #2185

Embracing the Spirit’s Truth In the shadowed depths where hearts may stray, A solemn warning lights our way, A sin so grave, a heart so cold, Rejects the grace that can't be told. A heart once open, now closed tight, Turns from the Spirit's guiding light, Miracles of love turned dark, By stubborn pride, by doubting spark. Yet in the silence, hear the call, To humble hearts, to heed it all, Discern the Spirit's gentle voice, In every breath, in every choice. A tree by fruit is known so well, In faith, our lives, His truth will tell, But those who harden, turn to stone, In blasphemy, they stand alone. Guard well your words, your deeds, your heart, From grace and truth, do not depart, For from the heart, the mouth does speak, The strong in faith, the humble meek. In unity, our faith shall thrive, In Spirit's work, we are alive, In Jesus' name, our place we find, Redeemed by grace, in love aligned. This warning etched in faith so true, Calls us to cherish what we do, The Spirit's flame within us burns, To His great love, our hearts return. Let us embrace the light, the grace, And find our path in His embrace, For in His love, we find our way, In Spirit's truth, we live each day. So heed the call, oh faithful heart, From Spirit's truth, do not depart, In unity, let love increase, In Spirit's truth, we find our peace. -Steven G. Lee (July 4, 2024)
