The Five Spiritual Senses



Sight

Could ever there be a more awesome sight
For human eyes to behold,
Than the vision of the crucified Lord
Resurrected to make men whole?


Sound

Could ever there be a more beautiful sound
To the ears of mortal men,
Than that joyful melody ringing out
Of a heart set free from sin?


Taste


Could ever there be a more pleasant taste
Than the word of the living God
As it feeds the hungry hearts of men,
Directing the paths they trod?


Smell

Could ever there be a sweeter smell
Than the fragrant heavenly Dove
As He breathes upon His people
Filling them with His love?


Touch


Could ever there be a more precious touch
Than that of the Master's hand-
Forgiving, healing, holding us securely
Till we enter the promised land?


Father, thank you that your blessings
Reach the senses of the heart,
Satisfying our deepest longings,
As they touch each and every part.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ"


(Eph.1:3)
