Romans 8:26-27

     The Spirit, too, comes to help us in our weakness.  For when we cannot choose words in order to pray properly, the Spirit Himself expresses our plea in a way that could never be put into words, and God who knows everything in our hearts knows perfectly well what he means, and that the pleas of the saints expressed by the Spirit are according to the mind of God.

     I accepted Jesus as my Savior when I was five years old and have spent the rest of my life learning, with each day, something new about the Greatness of the Savior of my soul, my Abba, the greatest love of my life.

     Though my family and I suffered both hardship and personal loss, I knew, throughout my childhood the protection of His Holy Spirit, and as I grew into adulthood, I learned to glorify Him in my heart.

     In the days of my childhood, I would visit my grandmother, and listen to the wind in the pine forest across the road from her home.  My family remembers me asking them if that sound was the Holy Spirit, as I began to try to grasp the Presence of God in my life.  The “Song of the Holy Spirit” is a tribute to this Presence. It continues to be in my times of greatest emptiness that He fills my heart and uses me to glorify our Heavenly Father.  This awesome Spirit unites us, the Body of Christ, as we grow, learn, serve, praise and pray together as a family around His Table.

      In the following Lyrics, I pray that God will continue to use me, and my brothers and sisters in Christ, as vessels to carry this Spirit, and The Gospel of Christ, to the world.  We need never worry if we feel tired, or physically incapable of doing what He asks of us, for the Holy Spirit is our teacher and advocate, and Christ is our strength.

Song of the Holy Spirit
Lyrics and Music © 1999 by Laurel Jean Walden
 

I hear your voice on the wind in the pines.
I feel your touch on the early summer rain.
You have known my tears and become my gladness,
Spirit of all Creation.

Rest upon my life and make it Holy.
Use it even when I do not know,
And touch the hearts of my brothers and sisters,
Joined in the Body of Christ

Be my song when words can’t be found,
Be my melody when I cannot make a sound.
Be my prayer, when I don’t know what to say.
Spirit of God, light my way.

You are the love of God our Father,
You are the breath of Jesus,
Living in the heart of every believer,
Spirit of all Creation.

Rest upon our lives and make them Holy.
Use them even when we do not know,
And touch the hearts of our brothers and sisters,
Joined in the Body of Christ.

Be our song, when words can’t be found.
Be our melody, when we cannot make a sound,
Be our prayer, when we don’t know what to say.
Spirit of God, light our way.

Be my song.
Be my melody.
Be my prayer.
Spirit of God, I hear your voice.
