World Poetry Day
There is a lot going on today. First of all, it’s World Poetry Day!
Yea, God bless the poets. Two of my favorite poets are Peter Mayer and Brenda Greenwald. So, today you have the opportunity to sample their work which just happens to focus in on the Spirit of God. Some people would call that a coincidence, but I happen to call it “H2o devos HGI” (instead of CSI) HGI which stands for Holy Ghost Incident!
Delia’s angel by the name of “Hope” has a “spring” or buoyancy to it. It’s the Spirit of God that keeps us bouncing along in our world and daily lives. The way the explanation of the Third Article to the Creed states it, “the Holy Spirit, calls, gathers, enlightens and sanctifies the whole Christian church on earth.”
Peter sings, “We hunt for miles and all the while it paints the scenery
Scatters and whirls an arabesque
Chorus
Hey ey Hey ey this mercy moves
God is loose hey ey
God is loose in the world
Hey ey hey ey the universe is singing
Loose hey hey God is loose in the world”

Brenda Greenwald wrote the song, “Untamed Spirit” for worship on Sunday.
She says the the text for "Untamed Spirit" is: Genesis 12:1-4 meets John 3:1-17 meets
• a childhood hymn (Spirit of the Living God) meets
• my very favorite Brahms piano piece (Waltz in A Flat)
• meets the Holy Spirit of Baptism!
It totally rocked and you can read more about it at”

Untamed Spirit
tune: iverson, brahms
text: brenda lynn greenwald
Spirit of the Living God, Fall afresh on me.
Spirit of the Living God, Fall afresh on me.
Melt me, mold me, Fill me, use me.
Spirit of the Living God, Fall afresh on me.
Stir from deep within the Spirit of new birth.
For out of darkness into light,
The Savior dwells here on earth.
The promise made, so long ago,
Tells us to let the Spirit blow.
The cursed be cursed, the blessed be blessed,
Our human disbelief confess.
For God so loved the world, He sent
His only son, live testament,
So we’d believe, and have eternal life.
We live in now, not yet,
Our journey keeps us walking wet.
The cleansing hope, the font of life,
Our Christ, our Jesus bears our strife.
Let your light shine so others see
Your works, and Glory be to thee!
We welcome all as members of the body!
GO! Be a blessing to all
Our Father has issued the call!
Gathered and Sent, Baptized and claimed,
Praising God for the Spirit yet untamed!
P: Dominus vobiscum. P: The Lord be with you.
R: Et cum spiritu tue. R: And with thy spirit.
May you have the angel of “Hope” spring into you life today!
Peace,
rtg
