Just Past the Bend

May The Spirit of The Lord, be our guide this day. May we hearken to His words, in all our ways. For He is the teacher, God has sent to the church. And the hearts of all men, He also does search. He is the Spirit of Evangelism, calling all from their sin. For only by The Spirit, does conviction  begin. He never speaks of himself, or what He can do. Rather only of Jesus, and His words are true. Without Him a word,  is just a word. But with Him, It becomes life that's heard. Without Him, We all walk alone. But with Him, He walks us home! We call to you,  this day Holy Spirit. Speak to us with words of any size! For even with foolishness, You confound the wise.

But on the thir

On throne so pure, it appears like fire. At a place so high, none can go higher. Sits God, so holy, in His glory and power. As the scent of mercy and grace, fills His tower. At the sound of His voice, time stands still. As He stretches forth His hand, death is quelled. To stand in His presence, all evil must flee. To accept His Son, sets one free. Millennium's pass, yet He remains the same. As His Spirit and Word, still honor His name. Who is so mighty, That He never changes His ways? Only, The God of Forever, The Ancient of Days!
