From Romans 8:12-13: “So then, brothers and sisters, we are obligated, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—for if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.”
Accepting Jesus Christ
Freeing from sin and death
Spirit within now calls
Freeing Word’s divine breath
Dwelling deep in our souls
Feeding with Living Bread
Spirit within now cares
Feeding from grace ahead
Suffering with Jesus
Walking from bloody cross
Spirit within now breathes
Walking free, evil’s loss
Stepping into hope’s light
Living under God’s will
Spirit within now speaks
Living through Christ’s goodwill
Praying to one Father
Speaking from empty heart
Spirit within now leads
Speaking with faith’s new start
From Romans 8:26-27: “ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with groanings too deep for words. And God, who searches hearts, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.”

Eileen, thank you for sharing this Christian poem with your readers. It is fulfilling to take a chapter (such as Romans 8) and work its message into these verses.
