a spirit of might - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Given voice
a spirit of might
going into the world
the darkness of this earth

Being salt,
as real as we can be
open to the telling
of how God saved me

A spirit of might
of power over evil
trusting in our Savior
going where we are led

Healing others
by our hands, by our feet
offering them salvation
by the gift of our Master
who climbed the rugged cross
who became the lamb, the sacrifice
forgiving us our all
