Trust the Holy Spirit




Trust the Holy Spirit
To give you the words to say
To respond well in the confusion
Every night and day.
Trust the Holy Spirit
To give you the things to do
Especially in discerning
The right things that hold you true.
Trust the Holy Spirit
To be inspired in order to know
That very special anointing
In order to prayerfully grow.
Trust the Holy Spirit
Ensure you can be aware
Of every way of accord
To be empowered enough to care.
Trust the Holy Spirit
By seeking God above it all
To desperately want the knowledge
The understanding of his call.
Trust the Holy Spirit
To give you strength and peace
He alone can give it
That unrelenting release.
Trust the Holy Spirit
You know it to be your role
Most certainly it’s your destiny
The everlasting goal.
Trust the Holy Spirit
Whilst you are in the flesh
Ever realigning
Continuing to enmesh.
Trust the Holy Spirit
Put into it your all
For when you do this very thing
Watch your flesh surrender and fall.
Trust the Holy Spirit
Allow God to facilitate transition
And through this astounding miracle
Make that your very mission.
Trust the Holy Spirit
That portent of God in you
This revelation, grace and power
Will always hold you true.
Trust the Holy Spirit
So the message of Christ is proclaimed
Just in order that everyone can
Know the Father has in him salvation named.
Trust the Holy Spirit
As you journey through stormy seas
Holding on valiantly and in accord
And with God it’s you who agrees.
Trust the Holy Spirit
Multiply God’s voice aloud
And in the quietness
Ensure the Spirit’s work is endowed.
Trust the Holy Spirit
Listen to the Holy Voice alone
Even as words aren’t heard
Whether it makes you rejoice or groan.
Trust the Holy Spirit
In the uncertainties of life
Always, ever, and burning
Yes, even in the strife.
Trust the Holy Spirit
Especially when you’re inspired
Don’t worry about others’ fear
And on what they may’ve conspired.
Trust the Holy Spirit
The person of God in you
This is the living God
Not known by just a few.
Trust the Holy Spirit
In Jesus to rejoice
Trust this Beautiful One
Value above it all his voice.
Trust the Holy Spirit
Glory even in lament
For he will assure you
And keep you from becoming bent.
Trust the Holy Spirit
Have faith in unknown gain
For God wills it that the obedient are honoured
Those who step despite their pain.
Trust the Holy Spirit
He lifts you where you are
Every despairing effort
Will ultimately take you far.
Trust the Holy Spirit
Trust alone in his acclaim
Believe every loving story
To the glory of his name.
