The Spirit Is Willing The Holy Spirit inside is willing, through The Lord’s Holy filling, But our flesh can be weak, even when we’re humble and meek. When fleshly desires are strong, inner thoughts may be wrong, Which leads many hearts to stray, from The Lord’s narrow way. It is that quiet inner voice, that guards my thoughts and choice, This, as I am confronted with, those daily choices on how I live, In a world that opposes light, that preaches wrong is really right, Thinking that’s so contrary to, the Spirit Christ gave me and you. Although the Spirit lives within, a choice is made by us not Him, And I can reject His gentle plea, thinking not of Christ, only me. With a gentleness from within, He warns hearts to flee from sin, Guiding us through The Light, back to the way we know is right. So that spiritual battle inside, a believer’s heart can’t be denied, As sin crouches at every door, to hinder our walk with The Lord. Even as believers go astray, God’s Spirit to our hearts will say, This is not the way to go, from that Truth we’ve come to know. But as the battle stirs deep inside, The Spirit continues to abide, As the battle rages, and it will, we need to remain quiet and still. For He inside me’s greater than, the evil cunning of wicked men, And only He fills me with peace, that from God will never cease. (Copyright ©05/2007 Bob Gotti) |
