June 28 – “Youth Camp: Day Six”

What the Spirit does for me?

Produces real Christianity
Makes the Bible personal
Points to Jesus, that’s His call

How’s it going in track time?

Like in crafts where Espey shines
You like battleball you said?
Gracie nailed her teammate’s head

Mastered nine-square with a swirl

Hunter and some pretty girls
For Guys Only was the plan
Dee joined up because he can

Jason longed for hiking more

'Til his legs got really sore
Mama Chris, cam’ra in hand
Recorded our Seaside band

PK bought Pastor Dave’s book

He wanted a closer look
Dave stood waiting, pen in hand.
PK asked to sign – his Mom

Just before our worship time

Power outage struck, Oh, my!
Staff then scrambled to adapt
Creativity was tapped

Auxiliaries kept some light on
But the AC, it was gone
Acoustic guitars were brought in
Bongo drums to play on then

Moved some cables, portable amps

A Jesus pep rally swept the camp
And then we worshipped anyway
Holy Spirit had his way

In Isaiah chapter six

When we worship these things tick:
Confrontation with God, see,
Forces radical honesty

We confess and God does cleanse

Then a call to serve kicks in
Real short teaching, then the band
Led us in a worship stand

Singing, lifting hands to God

More salvations, think that odd?
Some to full-time Christian work
All this after the power jerk!

Psalms 97:7 says, “All who worship images are put to shame, those who boast in idols - 

worship him, all you gods!”

Father, teach on.  Amen.
