A thought arises
Old one to spurn
In way of the new
So much to unlearn
Through indwelling Spirit
Of wisdom to gain
A practice each day
This soul to retrain
To cast out the old
Bring love of the new
Pause to remember
We’re a child of You
Worldly desire
Dust to let go
And when we falter
Forgiveness to know
Instilling of joy
Persistence to pray
Awareness to seek
We’re blessed in Your way
