The Spirit Divine**

Lord, you send us a counselor of peace,
that gives us joy and brings relief,
from the trials that pound our flesh today,
to the glory he brings on judgement day.

The Spirit needs no defense in this life,
from unbelief that deepens daily strife.
For the truth will be surely made known,
as the Spirit finds the ones that are His own.

The knowledge of God is not merely found,
in written words that teach and expound,
but in the dwelling of the Spirit divine,
guiding our lives both yours and mine.

The Spirit was meant to glorify Your name,
helping us the scriptures to explain,
dwelling within the souls of those who believe,
comforting all those convicted who grieve.

He will turn our mourning to eternal joy, above,
bringing us to understand the power of His love,
our hearts will constantly rejoice,
knowing we are his eternal choice.

II Corinthians 1:3-4 "Praise be to the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts
us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort
those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves
have received from God."
