Holy Spirit Save Me!

Holy Spirit give me strength to conquer my desire to sin

Holy Spirit give me your words that fill me deep from within

Holy Spirit give me courage to not let the regrets of yesterday stop my dreams of tomorrow

Holy Spirit you tell me they will only make me weak and fill me with sorrow

Holy Spirit may my tragedies and tribulations not become my identity

Holy Spirit help me be all you know I can be

Holy Spirit don’t allow any season of mouring to turn into a lifetime of mouring

Holy Spirit may those things grow my trust, because for me to move forward they must

Holy Spirit strengthen me from the inside out

Holy Spirit wash me clean and quench those coals of doubt

Holy Spirit let me feel your strong force pulling me out of the dark

Holy Spirit let the truth of your Word find it’s Holy Mark

              His Helping Hand

 Though we stumble we will not fall, the Lord upholds us with His hand

He will hold us up so we can stand

Your heart may fail but God is the strength of your heart forever

He will never leave you no never, never, never

You will rejoice like a child with your favorite toy

For he will fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy

You O Lord, you are our refuge and our stronghold in times of trouble

For when we hold on to Him, we don’t fall or stumble

You O Lord, turn our darkness into light

You never leave us, we are always in your sight

You don’t willingly allow affliction or grief to the children of men

It is your way to make us strong, so we can fight against our sin

You are our shield, the horn of our salvation and our stronghold

You are more precious than anything on earth, even the purest of gold

Because of our sin against you, we should bear your wrath

But Jesus payed for our sin, now our life has a different path

You brought us into the light so we now see your righteousness

You are now our guiding light, no more living in our darkness

You tell us these things so that in you we may have peace

Leaving our old life behind, feeling your wonderful release

                        Hate, Hate, Hate

I hate that word

Love your enemies and do good to them

Haven’t you heard, then it will go well with you

For love conquers all, the small and the tall

Let all those situations cause you to grow

Remember, you always reap what you sow

Go in the Lord’s power with a smile on your face

Do it all for God’s glory with His covering of grace

This world has enough sadness without all the hate

So, let God’s love, joy, and peace fill you, opening up your soul’s stubborn gate

Your life will change, in fact, you will feel great

So, let love in; let it be your soul mate not all that hate

                Coming Soon

Enoch prophesied that the Lord is coming to execute judgement upon all.

So, be ready and open your ears for His promise call

He will come in the clouds and every eye shall see Him

So, keep your hope strong and don’t let them grow dim

He shall descend from heaven with a shout

He is coming, he is coming, have no doubt

With the voice of the archangel and the trumpet of God

He will appear with His severing rod

The dead in Christ shall rise first

From out of their graves they will burst

The rest that are His, will be raised up to meet their Lord in the air

He will then give them robes of white for all to wear

A new heaven and a new earth will then appear

No more pain or sorrow or tears and no more fear

Soon we will see Him face to face

For all eternity to live in His love, mercy and grace

                    Believe

At His command the waves became calm

At His command the sick were healed by a Holy balm

He offered living water to the woman at the well

He offered words of life with the parables He would tell

He had them tell John the dead were raised and the blind could see

He had them tell John in His own words it is really me

The Pharisees saw all He had done and still didn’t believe

The ones who hear what He has done are forgiven as they repent and receive

How can it be He preached love and peace instead of war

How can it be when one hears or reads His Word they can turn away and not want more

When we leave this world, there is only one question we will be asked

When we appear before God, He will see through everyone’s mask

Then every knee will bow, and tongue will confess

Then all who believe will finally arrive at God’s wonderful address

                 Being Filled

Invite the Lord in to have His way

Invite the Holy Spirit into your life to stay

This is done by making God your deepest desire

Then let His Holy Spirit set your life on fire

Surrendering to Him is a definite must

His Holy Spirit will become more powerful in you the larger your faith and the more you trust

Trying to make it through life all on your own

Even though you succeed for a while, in the end you will find you are all alone

God has a definite plan and has His work for you to do

Ask each day for the filling of His Holy Spirit and then enjoy what He can do through you

Be awed by the power and the glory of His Spirit within

With the Holy Spirit residing in you, your live will be a win win

A Son Is Born

Father we are overwhelmed at the birth of your Son

We wait with great expediency at what is to come

The Word was made flesh and dwelt among all mankind

No great love from God our savior could any person find

The glory of the only begotten of the Father full of truth and grace

God was manifest in the flesh to meet the world face to face

The angel told Mary that Jesus would be His name

He will raise the dead, give sight to the blind, and heal the lame

He sent His son to be the payment for our sin

Then He could live through us and we could live through Him

For unto us a child is born, and unto us a Son is given

Jesus holds the only key to free us from our earthly prison

There is no other name under heaven whereby we can be saved

So, sing songs of rejoicing, our freedom has been given, we are no longer enslaved
