Harmony
by Barbara Philbrook

Harmony is what I strive for in my life.
I desire to live free of tension, maliciousness and strife.

I wish to live lovingly amid my fellow man,
doing as much for others as I possibly can.

Live in such a manner as the Bible guides,
following the Holy Spirit who within abides.

When I accepted God's offer of salvation,
I invited the Holy Spirit to begin a renovation.

To clean my heart of all it's filth and sin,
and a new creation in me to begin.

The work was started that very day,
and I've been promised that within me He will stay.

Leading me in the way I should go,
teaching me all I need to know.

Loving others in a way I couldn't on my own,
reflecting God's love so they too will be shown.

Not causing arguments fights or dissension.
Not bringing to God any negative attention.

Attracting others by God's peaceful loving example.
Showing them that God's grace is ample.

Harmony attracts the attention of others,
hopefully they'll become our sisters and brothers.
