Calm Spirit Manifested
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1Thessalonians 5:23 of the King James Bible
Calm spirit from Christ’s peace sublime
propels triumphant progress climb
Faith serenely ascending high
vanquishes unbelief good bye
Mind fretting due to anguish pain
seeks solace in the Lord’s grace gain
Soul’s tranquility to reach-out
exudes joy against doubt and pout…
Heart resting in quietude’s hope
asserts God’s security scope
Body of blessed wellness zest
serves with strong, steadfast healthy best
Vision focused midst blurry blight
views glory of heavenly sight
Countenance of forgiveness-flow
radiates jubilation-glow.
Gratitude in prayer stillness
smites disturbing restlessness
Worshipful poise shuts sorrow’s noise
when praise-choice overcomes guilt-voice
Helpfulness’ gesture of warm smile
ripples kindness for second mile
Love expressed by comforting cheer
silences thumps of lurking fear.
