In Sampran, Thailand

Uncertain where the wind will blow
Uncertain where the truth will show:
Dear friends, then hasten! raise the sails;
The Spirit blows, the wind, it wails.

The Gifts are like the sails, they grab
A wind we cannot see or snag
With our own reason; let Him blow
And guide, and push, us where He’ll go.
