Poetry
The Presence Of His Spirit
It’s been a while, but few seem to notice that He’s gone
Not welcomed, God left His church to function on its own
Saying the right words but missing the essence of Him
The brightness of His presence has now become dim
While many slept, God continued to plead His case
Longing for His children to come and seek His face
Where is the brokenness that once caused us to wail
As we cried out for the lost and on our faces fell
A gathering without God’s Spirit is no gathering at all
It’s only man’s traditions, if on God we do not call
Sadly, many do not miss the sweetness of God’s presence
Not realizing that in all we do, He is the very essence
Prayer apart from God does not get beyond the ceiling
For it lacks God’s power, and is only based on feeling
But as we are led by God and empowered from on high
The Holy Spirit will dwell, He will always be nearby
Break us Lord that we may be filled with You
Shake off complacency, give us a wider view
Fill us with Your Spirit, fill us with Your power
Help us to walk humbly in this final hour
We are powerless, we are helpless apart from You
So come Holy Spirit, refresh us and fill us anew
