Spirit given

By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

1 John 4:13

This life of mine is spiritual.

There is a way I always know

that what I do and say here below

is under my God and Savior’s control:

My heart is where God’s Spirit dwells.

God lives in me, I live in Him.

I feel conviction of my sin.

I know He makes holy within

all that I surrender to Him.

Heaven’s breeze brought on a Spirit-wind.

I live in Christ. Christ lives in me.

By His Spirit now I am set free

to love and move and have my being

right now and through all eternity.

God will draw me near and live with me.

Sin no longer from my Lord has riven

since God His only Son has given.

I am made new. I am forgiven.

And I know I’m headed toward heaven

through the comfort of His Spirit given.

Lord, I praise You for this gift I receive

as in Jesus I firmly now believe.

The sorrow and brokenness You relieve

from death and hell my soul’s reprieve.

I have life beyond what I can conceive.
