“Stew” (Isaiah Ch. 50 Passim) [The Tongue Of One Who Is Taught]
O Holy Spirit, thanks for this, as I go forth
Into this day with fresh routine in frozen North;
The music, songs of praise from round the earth
Uplifting are for those of us with second birth.I had the choice in You, from net to pull some songs,
Amazed I was how many to my thought belong;
Assembled now so I can pull each quickly in,
Thus part of morning routine worship here begins.So nice to draw some singing groups around the globe
Like Davis story, at the end, when yarn I told
Of “Day Thou Gavest” sung by friends in memory;
Now Internet enables this more naturally.Isaiah speaks of morning teaching for my day,
With sustenance for weary travelers on the way;
To pass along to others so we all arrive
At “Kingdom-Layer”, “Head of the pin” – that all survive.So thank You, Holy Spirit, for Your words today;
The way the You've held the me back to give me words to say;
And started building up routines for giving food
To hungry souls around the globe, out doing good.So like that dream of skis, equipment, steaming stew;
Provided workers heading out to work with You,
You’ll find me, when You come, so doing what You asked
Of me – back on my knees, to music – basic task.Lord as I read these words, my failures seem so great,
In numbered ratio-to-good I helped create;
I pray those numbers might reverse as we go forth
This day, and all the rest, for us – in frozen North.Thanks Holy Spirit for this.
