From John 14:15-16: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever.”

Bringing light to follow
Christ’s promise comes with grace
Overcoming life’s doubts
Holy Spirit in place
Responding to life’s needs
Hope filling empty hearts
Interceding for Christ
Holy Spirit imparts
Pouring into others
Love shared across man’s world
Swelling as inner strength
Holy Spirit unfurled
Healing our brokenness
Steadfast love guiding lives
Gathering righteous faith
Holy Spirit’s “high-fives”
Trusting in Christ-filled light
God’s Word proclaims, our Rock
Wandering no longer
Holy Spirit unlocks

From John 14:26-27: “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”
American Christian singer and songwriter, Francesca Battistelli, sings “Holy Spirit.” While I have heard this song several times in Sunday worship, its lyrics always reach and out touch me. I hope they will speak to you as well.
I really like the very last line – “ “Holy Spirit unlocks” ! This will keep me pondering for awhile! Great poem! 🌟
