Taken From: Romans 1:9-11
Illustration by Grace Ellen Schiel
We serve God with our spirit
in the gospel of the Son, a reality
bigger on the inside than
is evident on the outside.
Conscious of a power not our own
at work within us, we speak.
Charged with spiritual authority
the words fall
like fire
like a hammer
that breaks the rocks in pieces.
Hearing the truth, the hearers
are rebuked, exhorted, reproved,
sanctified, established.
Unsearchable riches carried by words
to the recipients of saving grace
in the gospel of the Son, a reality
bigger on the inside than
is evident on the outside.
Conscious of a power not our own
at work within us, we speak.
Charged with spiritual authority
the words fall
like fire
like a hammer
that breaks the rocks in pieces.
Hearing the truth, the hearers
are rebuked, exhorted, reproved,
sanctified, established.
Unsearchable riches carried by words
to the recipients of saving grace
