More poems about Gifts of Spirit

BEING SPIRITUALLY FED
Through storm and sunshine there’s a joy that has no end,
It comes when we with our striving on our dear Lord do depend,
Pain and sickness may strike often with fierce cruel blow,
You can be filled with peace and to others great strength show.
Though death of loved ones, persecution and suffering come your way
If you stay close to the Master, He’ll be your strength and stay,
Then when a bright silver lining shows behind these clouds so dark
And from over the swaying trees you hear the sweet song of the lark,
Then that joy will overflow and tears of gratitude you’ll shed,
For through those trials and tribulations you were spiritually fed.
