Poetry

---

I want not to be uninformed,
In reflection of the Spirit;
I desire to be transformed,
Performing spiritual merit.

You know when you were Gentiles,
You were led away by mute gods;
And lived immoral lifestyles,
Unknowingly that they were frauds.

Please understand that no one speaks,
In His Spirit that Christ is cursed;
Nor say that Jesus is Lord who seeks,
Except His Spirit who traversed.

There are diversities of gifts,
All from the same Holy Spirit;
For an attitude that uplifts,
Spoken with spiritual merit.

A variety of projects,
All of which is from the same Lord;
That is giving lasting effects,
Which it can never be ignored.

God who empowers everyone,
Of a broaden operation;
Demonstrates of what Christ has done,
Making you His new creation.

Musing of the Holy Spirit,
Is given for the common good;
In which that we will inherit,
To profit withal as we should.

One may get to express wisdom,
Another of expressed knowledge;
Someone for faith of His Kingdom,
Another for having courage.

Another to work miracles,
Still another for prophecy;
Interpret tongues of oracles,
His Spirit gives ability.
