zealous yokefellow
    xenolith with vitality

Unseen the Spirit resides quietly 
perfecting obedient natures,

ministering love, kindness, joy, insight,

honing gentleness, 

faithfully encouraging disciples, 

convicting breath abides.

prompting,calling 
knocking at my door
to turn back to God
 drawing me

The Holy Spirit helped me

He dined with me and I with He.
I understood,I’m born again
&  made free,eyes opened

The key that opens prison doors 
and sets the captive free
The truth that gives me perfect peace
and speaks so clear to me..

and now we both agree
I once was lost but now I'm found
was blind but now I see......
