I Want To Live In The Spirit! Poem by Denis Martindale

I Want To Live In The Spirit!



I want to live in the Spirit,
As all wise Christians would,
To read God's Word and to hear it
And learn what God thinks good...
I want to pray and to listen,
For guidance every day,
For only the Lord shares wisdom
To lead us on our way...

I know I'm human just like you,
We've known our share of trials,
But credit where credit is due,
We've known our share of smiles...
God loves a cheerful giver yet
He loves both rich and poor
And that's now why I don't regret
When God says to give more...

I can't outgive the King of Kings,
Yet what I give still counts
And who knows all the joy this brings
When I, all greed, renounce?
God's Holy Spirit points me to
The people in most need,
Then I must do what I must do
To help them to succeed...

It's all by faith, no more, no less,
The failures come and go,
Yet I press on with happiness,
The Gospel seed to sow...
I see the harvest growing strong,
Blessed by the sun and rain
And my heart knows it won't be long
Till Jesus comes again...

So here am I, a child of grace,
Forgiven through God's Son,
The Holy Spirit I embrace
With thanks for all He's done...
I want to live in the Spirit,
I want to get things right,
For each new day I near it
When God calls me home one night...
