I once heard someone speak of being so full of the love of God and the Holy Spirit that it would "leak out" if someone poked you.

Meditating on that idea inspired this one.

Leaking Spirit

You filled me with Your spirit Lord

Now let me overflow

and leak Your love on everyone

and everywhere I go

My container once was broken 

so if cracks can still be found

Just let them leak--

that way more of Your love 

gets spread around

May I not mind the chips and cracks

That I can clearly see

Just let your overflow run down 

and cover all those spots on me

It's not the number of repairs 

or what shape my vessel's in

No matter how much love I leak

Your Spirit fills me up again

Your kingdom's full of mended jars

That once were broken too

and now made whole, our body, soul

and Spirit lives in You

We're not our own, Your Spirit's sown

Your Seed inside our hearts

and as it grows it reaches out

to help mend other's broken parts

Keep us, Lord from being proud 

not forgetting how You found us

So we never judge the shape of all 

the other jars around us

Our job is just to leak Your love

and leave a trail to You

and let all those around us know

They can be mended too
