The power of life

Ephesians 3:16 

16 I pray that according to the wealth of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

 

Power from above

 

Ready to travel having all that’s needed

carrying God’s word deeply inside

Dumped all baggage that superseded

A time consuming effort to get it right

 

Light as a feather with spring in my step

I am ready now to hit the narrow road

Finally free indeed ... far beyond inept

Why did I carry for so long that heavy load?

 

My compass built within where my guide resides

My ears fully tuned to that soft gentle voice

A song in my heart ... a whisper and a sigh

My eyes finally opened understanding the choice

 

Cares of the world are pavement on the road

I am for sure walking and moving above them

Being led by the Hand ... far towards the remote

that place where folks drown ... to helpless to swim

 

Panning for souls in unending pits of tar

Rewards surely cannot be seen by me

The lost here are screaming from close and far

for Christ to help them ... and to redeem

 

Death is scratching and clawing in wild anger

but its sting seems now far gone

The power of Life removed the danger

Christ now and for always on the Throne
