The Spirit
controlling
the flesh weak;
submitting to
God
that I may
teach
that I may
reach
that I may sow
seeds of love
Compelled to preach
to share one message
the Gospel coming
pouring from me
water flowing,
a torrent
rushing
from where I
do not know
Nothing of choice
truly taken over
the Spirit
giving
only that I be empty
that I may be filled
giving myself over
to God’s holy word
Sharing His
message
out into the
world
Giving myself
over
to God’s holy
word
the Spirit
giving
that I may be
ready
doing the
work.
