This
poem came to me when I was feeling weak and lonely. I suffer from clinical
depression, and there are times when I really need to know that the Lord is with
me. Whenever I feel down and alone, I usually only have to put on some
praise and worship music and worship the Lord, and the Holy Spirit fills me with
peace and a feeling of reassurance. We need to realise that He
IS
always with us, guiding us, comforting us in times of sorrow, lifting us up when
we fall, and sheltering us from all our enemies. He is always there when
we need Him. All we have to do is reach out.
COME
NOW, HOLY SPIRIT
Come
now, Holy Spirit,
And
fill me with Your power –
I
need to know You're with me
Every
single hour.
As
I come into Your presence now,
I
need to know Your will,
So
I will sit in silence, Lord –
I
will wait; I will be still.
As
I go into the world today,
I
need You as my guide,
To
lead me and to strengthen me;
To
know You're by my side.
May
every word I speak, my Lord,
Be
gentle, soft and warm;
May
it reach the hearts of those I meet,
And
calm the raging storm.
May
the love of God pour out of me
And
quench each thirsty soul;
Like
a river of living water,
May
it touch and make them whole.
The
desire of my heart, my Lord,
Is
for Your people to be free,
So
let them see in me, my Lord,
None
of self, but only Thee.
