Hungry For Salvation Poem by Jimmy L. Lyons

I am hungry for the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
and with joy I draw water from the wellspring of salvation.
I cry out for strength and awareness from the mouth of the Lord.

God speaks to me in the sound of strings, flutes and tambourines;
He speaks to me in the taste of the communion wine;
most of all, he speaks to me in my meditation on his glorious Word.

The Lord has the power to turn bitter into sweet, and to turn darkness into light;
He gives me power to see with my eyes, to hear with my ears,
and to understand with my heart and mind his healing words of salvation.
