Seeking the Spirit

Might we learn to harbor good thought in our mind Might our voice to others be gentle and kind Will we reach out to those we see are in need Will our joys be hampered by our own greed Allow focus to be on material things of this world Allow pain to consume if hurting words are hurled Do we seek to understand our own hearts desire Do we allow thought to idle in the deceivers mire Are we seeking the truth from deep within Are we overcome by the regret from our old sin Can we put those things of the past behind Can we look to the future in God's love be entwined Seek to do better with each blessed new day Seek understanding so in God's grace we'll stay
