I wrote the following (adapted from Charles Wesley) for a closing hymn after preaching about Prayer and the Holy Spirit (see last post).

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood
Applied to me by God’s Spirit
Who makes me now a child of God
Bold I approach the Father’s throne
For he, in love, made me, his own
Amazing love, Bless’d Trinity
For my great God adopted me

And in my prayers, I am so weak
But the Spirit helps me endure
Adds fervency, conforms my prayers
To his great will forever sure
So for his help, I’ll ever seek
And pray, though I, hardly, can speak
Amazing love, Spirit Holy
Now groans and intercedes for me

The Spirit guides, he gives us strength
In love and joy he helps us grow
Empowers us for ministry
And grants boldness for us to go
We’ll plead with him now to shower
His great goodness, his strong power
Amazing love, his blessings free
Now we’ll give thanks eternally
