The Leaven Of The Spirit Poem by Lionel Hartley

The Leaven Of The Spirit

The Leaven of the Spirit

Lord, You are the bread of life.
Make me, Lord, a slice of thee;
May life for me be Spirit filled -
The leaven swelling up in me.

The silent unseen working
Transforming lazy flour
Into holy air-filled bubbling life;
Risen, baked, and given power!

So life no longer is a loaf
Of wasted energy.
Lord, may the crumbs I leave behind,
Draw other souls to Thee.
