Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Spiritual Victory

To walk is to move one step forward
after another following after your last
that direction is decided in your mind
using your know how so die's been cast

But God's spirit is the true director
leading and guiding the right way
showing one his perfect upland steps
His peace and grace be yours to stay

In this learning to reject the flesh
not gratifying all the desires of sin
so keeping in step with God's spirit 
following on always to victory win

This is our spiritual victory
to walk in step with God alone
our creator sustainer and saviour
His seed in us forever sowing

('Walk by the spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.' Galatians 5: 16  )
