Episode 137 - Poetry: The Language of the Soul

Potter's Inn Soul Care Conversations

Todays podcast has very special meaning for Steve as he had the opportunity to speak with Roger Housden. It was Roger who opened the portal for Steve to get and understand poetry. He’s a prolific writer and poet and the podcast became a soul enriching experience. We pray you are enriched as well!

• Music Break at 38:13 - Minha Alma tem Sede de Deus (My soul thirsts for God) - with Juliano Ravanello.

  LYRICS (in English)

  My soul thirsts for God

  And longs for the living God

  Pilgrim and happy walking

  To the house of God

  Amid shouts, praise and joy

  Of the jubilant multitude

  Send your light your truth

  They will be my guide

  Lead me to your holy mountain

  To your dwelling place

  Then I will go to the altars of the Lord

  God of my joy

  I will sing Your praise with the sound of the harp

  My Lord and my God

  When I shall have the joy of seeing

  The face of God.
