| Quickening Spirit |
|
| Poem written by Elder J.A. Rowell, Sr. | |

From dark despair, from sin and grief, Lost in a desert place, The Spirit brought me sweet relief, Christ saved me, by his grace. Though I was vile and full of guilt, The Spirit quickened me, I found the church, which Christ had built, For grace had made me free. Oh blessed hope, the Spirit came, I felt the chastening rod, I live to glorify his name, In fellowship with God. And now a Saviour's love I feel, In him I am complete, Before the throne of grace, I kneel, I found a mercy seat. The quickening Sprit gave me peace, I never had before, And when this mortal life shall cease, I live forever more. Now we can sing and preach and pray, And worship Christ the Lord, Led by his Spirit, day by day, Our God's eternal Word. |
