A great appetite


1 Corinthians 13:4-8     New English Translation

4 Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. 6 It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends

 

Please give me a dream to still my hunger for righteousness

Please show me the chariot of fire that is dancing on the clouds

Strengthen me to conquer mountains, being refreshed in loneliness

The presence of the Heavenly choir then removes all of my doubts

 

Please help me to be where I’m needed to serve and wash the feet

Of the friend, foe, and the hopeless, the helpless, and your children

Let it be superseded by the Spirit and the chosen to be free indeed

As I present The Holiness of my Savior and rejoice in His Presence
