Holy

Discipline

Discipline, I say

Humility and patience too

 

Spend time listening

Be quiet

And accept the Lord's message

 

Shut thy mouth

And open thine heart

Then ask the Father for a word of knowledge

And wisdom

 

Unplug the phone

Heed the Lord's call

And pray it isn't long distance

 

Empty your busy little mind

And listen carefully to God's enlightenment

 

Write it down

Put it in a special place

Memorize and meditate on it

When moved to

 

Then wait for it to happen in your life

And bless the day it does

For God's gifts are precious

 

Do this

And you will be well on your way

To being holy

 

 

John Christopher

1984

I have no desire to be holy I have desire to live the best way i can without harm nothingwrong with that

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
