BENEATH THE SURFACE 
LIES….
by Sandy James
The birds are 
flying
The water is 
calm
The sun has 
risen
The dawn long 
gone.
Below the ocean’s 
surface
It’s teeming with 
life
Fish dressed in beauteous 
colors
Looking for a 
wife.
Just like the Holy 
Spirit,
Jesus Christ within, 
Dwells beneath our flesh exterior 
We’ve been forgiven of our 
sin,
Teeming with His 
life
Producing fruit 
galore
Filling us with His love, joy and 
peace
Forever and ever 
more.
And Jesus too is looking for His 
church, His bride,
We who with Him have been 
crucified.
This poem was inspired by just looking out the window. What inspires you outside your window? 
Sandy, I think it is amazing that looking out your window inspired this vivid poem. It is so alive and beautiful, sharing God and his abundance!
