"Be still, and know"

Praise

LAURA GERAHTY

The Upper Room

The faithful few who doubted not the Master's wordWere waiting, hearts attuned, in one divine accord,To greet the promised one, the Comforter,When lo! it came with rushing wind and flaming tongues of fire,Inspiring each to heal and save by Truth's almighty power,To bring salvation sure to men,And carry on the work the Christ began.
