Catalyst
Cloud over the whole earth
Breath of new birth
Flashing in smoke
Through fire you spoke
Hovering over the deep
A revolutionary sweep
The wind you can't see
But powerful majesty
Working wonders just so
Catalyst to more than we know
Giving perfect direction
Even in our dereliction
Salvation by your Spirit
Abandon distraction and hear it.

About the Book
The Raging Sea is a devotional collection of forty connected poems. Together they describe the story of our relationship with God through all phases of life. We are The Raging Sea as we face our sins and struggle to follow God. Despite us, God works faithfully to bring the storm to still. As a devotional, these poems are meant to bring comfort, introspection, and insight during that journey. Each poem captures a moment in time with its own style and can be considered stand alone or part of the whole.
