My Father’s Spirit

Phyllis Weeks Rogers

You tell me you’re a non-believer.
I tell you I’m so sorry for you.
Sorry you’ve never touched the sky.
Sorry you fill yourself with lies.

Haven’t you ever seen miracle?
Haven’t you ever prayed a prayer?
Has love left your heart a stone?
Has life left you all alone?

Walk up high on a mountain.
Walk along the mighty sea.
Listen closely to the birds.
He’s given them the words.

Your father’s blood is in your veins.
My Father’s Spirit fills my soul.
When your heart stops its lonely beat
where will you go if you don’t believe?

I’m following the Way, the Truth, the Life.
Each moment He’s always there for me.
I believe because He’s given me release.
I believe because He’s given me peace.

Walk up high on a mountain.
Walk along the mighty sea.
Say a prayer to receive.
A miracle will happen…you’ll believe.

I'm a married retired nurse living on beautiful Lake Palestine in the East Texas piney woods. I seek to deepen my walk with the Lord daily. I have 4 dogs, a pair of Mandarin ducks, and 20 Ringed Teals. They are all a source of great pleasure. I love growing vegetables, fruits and floral. I spent the first 26 years of my life in the Houston area. The concrete and traffic took its toll and I moved to East Texas and have lived a rural existence since. I have always written as a means of expression throughout my life since I was in elementary school. It is something I've always had to do. My brain just works that way. It travels all the time, by land or sea or air it's always traveling.

  4. Your writing inspires me. I am grateful to Claudia for putting me in touch with your blog. I love your title: “Walking Humbly,” and it inspires me to want to change my title, Jan Beek, to my subtitle which is “Loving One Another.” But, I am afraid I would lose existing followers… they’d lose their link to my blog. What do you think?

    1. I really don’t think you would lose existing followers. After all, they are followers of your existing page which is an internet address itself. So, changing the name should not effect followers. However, I would make a post which explained that the name is changing. I know I’ve had those I’ve followed who have changed theirs.
      Your kind words touched my heart. Thank you so much.
