Spirit
The songs and worship that come from your spirit are special to Me
They come from your heart and set your spirit free
To worship forever with words you do not know
They keep your life from being tossed here and fro
Keep the focus of your spirit on Me as you sing with delight
Heaven will open and a cloud will descend tonight
A cloud so heavy you will not be able to stand to pray
That the spirit be upon you tonight and every day
Allow your spirit to flow and draw you close to Me
All those around you will be drawn to you, your spirit to see
What possibilities a free spirit can allow a person to do
Joining the body of heaven with our bodies on earth too
Let your spirit flow and create the sounds from within
A new way of communicating with Me will begin
Open and free with no need for words so let your spirit flow
My love for you is open and free and on your face will create a glow
(Psa 31:5 NRSV)Â Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.
(Joel 2:28 NRSV)Â Then afterward I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
(Mat 5:3 NRSV)Â Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
(John 4:23 NRSV)Â But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him.
(Rom 5:5 NRSV) and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
(Rom 8:26 NRSV)Â Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.
(Gal 5:22 NRSV)Â By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,
