The only way
We can see
What cannot
Be seen
Is through
The body of Christ,
Who we are,
His bride, his flesh
It is within her
That we see
The spirit of Christ
She is his kingdom
And he is her king
The only way
We can see
What cannot
Be seen
Is through
The body of Christ,
Who we are,
His bride, his flesh
It is within her
That we see
The spirit of Christ
She is his kingdom
And he is her king
Holy Spirit
Blood of Christ
Keeper of the truth

Spirit and flesh
Intertwined
Christ and his bride
Human and divine
The bread and the wine
His arrow
Pierced my heart
But I did not die
I fell
In love
Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting for the Word
The Bible
Is like a well
From which
I draw the water
Of everlasting life

We are
A people
Of faith
And in
Our faith
By the
Grace of God
We find
Salvation

Will come
To fruition

Gave rise to a savior
And the fall of the savior
Gave rise to the Holy Spirit
To a body of people
Who at one time
Were not
But now are
The generation
Of Jesus Christ

I Peter 2:9-10
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people…which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God…”
Experiences become
Memories
Memories become
Stories
Stories become
The tales we tell
To give life meaning
