Sometimes the Spirit speaks
in a thunderous roar,
His Power to impart.
Sometimes He speaks
in a still small voice,
To start a blaze within a heart.
But always as He comes along one's side,
He is the Comforter, the Trusted Guide.
And as I yield my life to Him,
Confess to Him my every sin
He is so faithful to forgive,
To heal, to cleanse, new life to give.
He fills my heart with gratitude,
He even changed my attitude.
He gives great joy and lasting peace,
Abundant life which will not cease.
In daily life there's victory,
To serve Him is real ecstasy.
No longer chained! I've been set free,
To live the life He's willed for me!
The purpose of this full release?
To share the faith and never cease
To love, to pray, to praise the Lord,
To live according to His Word.

"No longer chained! I've been set free, To live the life He's willed for me!"~~~~AMEN! Karin I hope you have a grand week!
Karin,
A wonderful poem. Pentecost Sunday is such an important day for the church to remember how God reigned down his power on that faithful, but fearful, little bunch gathered in the upper room all those hundreds of years ago.
We still need his anointing touch, because we are still sometimes faithful, but also a little fearful. :)
God bless you - Marsha
Your poems are always so lovely. I don't know how you do it, but you do have a gift. Blessings to you and have a lovely week.
