I dwell
On the Lord
All day long
Like a bird
On a tree
I have built
My house
On the Word
Of God
St. John 1:32
“I saw the Spirit descending from heaven, like a dove, and it abode upon him.”

I dwell
On the Lord
All day long
Like a bird
On a tree
I have built
My house
On the Word
Of God
St. John 1:32
“I saw the Spirit descending from heaven, like a dove, and it abode upon him.”
We are spiritual
Born into a physical body
The incorruptible
Born into the corruptible
The house can be corrupted
But not the spirit
That dwells in the house
I Peter 1:23
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which lives and abides forever.”
The Spirit is able
To see in the dark
She is able
To walk through walls
She is able
To transcend time
She is able
To bring the Word of God
To life
She is able
To be among us
Yet not be seen or heard
Romans 8:11
“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.”
Someone once said
“Use your mind before it uses you.”
The mind has the ability
To remember or forget
Our purpose in this world
Is to love each other
And see Christ in each other
Some have remembered that
And some have forgotten
Use your mind to remember
That which was in the beginning
St. John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
St. Matthew 27:46
“…My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
I drew water from his well
I drank from the cup of salvation
The well is the word of God
And the cup is my portion
Psalms 116:13
“I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.”
Psalm 119:57
“Thy art my portion, O Lord, I have said that I would keep thy words.”
There are
Words
Like God
Consciousness
Spirit
These words
Show us
That it is
Possible
For one word
To encompass
Everything
St. John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting for the Word
If the unseen
Is made manifest
For all to see
What then
Remains
To be seen
But a ghost
Of what once was
St. John 1:14
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
St. John 14:26
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance…”
Art: The Voyage of Life by Thomas Cole
Memories pour
From my mind
Love emanates
From my heart
The word of God flows
From my mouth
Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting for the Word
The Word was made flesh
And the flesh died
But the Word is still alive
John 1:14
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”
John 1:1
“…and the Word was God.”
What is that which flows
From the temple
That is the Word of God
The water which flows
From the mouth of the river
Revelations 22:1
“And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.”
