The Spirit Shines Bright By Brenda Drake

Oh the darkness of the sin-riddled soul.  But as dark as sin is, Jesus conquered it by paying the debt of sin for all that will believe.  When He is our Savior, we are set free from sins terrible life- destroying grasp. Little do we comprehend the light that dwells within.

The Spirit Shines Bright

It is dark; sin runs rampant in the streets.
Hurt, pain, and despair grips hearts in defeat.|
The fleshly ways of man,
Has full reign in the land.
When one seeks to see,
With heart available and willing to believe,
In the dark place, in comes Christ.
In the body of a believer the Spirit shines light.
The Church is the body and Christ is the head;
Together they go forth as Spirit led.|
Jesus is the light and the way.
He is the truth relayed.
Jesus is the healer of sin-sickness and shame.
We the Church, freely pray in His name.
Jesus is Lord, He is life.
We as His body, leads others to the light
In the dark place of the heart where sin hides;
The Spirit reveals the darkness deep inside.
When the Church rises up and sets its face to win,
Their praise and worship lights the way for them.
Their flesh may struggle and put up a fight,
But a holy work is done when the Spirit shines bright.

1 Thessalonians 5:5
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day:
we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Holy Comforter By Brenda Drake

  • Come Holy Comforter of my soul

       There are times when only the Holy Spirit is able to successfully show us the comfort we need at just the right time. Only God can know exactly how we are feeling and only He can touch us in our most needy situations.  He indeed is the Comforter of our soul.

Holy Comforter

There is One near that you cannot see
He is the One that dries the tears for thee.
He walks where angels cannot tread.
He hears every word ever said.
He is always kind and gentle to the aching heart.
He is the One that kindles loves fires to start.
He builds up and makes strong the damaged and weak.
He gives comfort to the soul that seeks.
This One comes at the whispered prayer;
And He truly for you cares.
His healing touch raises the dead.
He nourishes the starving, and strengthens the underfed.
The Comforter is sent as a gift from above,
To prove and to show the Heavenly Father’s love.
He speaks of salvation and lifts up Jesus’ name.
When the Holy Spirit enters, a life is never again the same.
Sweet words of wisdom will fill the mouth with praise;
Great is the thanks of a soul that has been saved.
For they are greatly assured of the work of the cross;
So abundant is the peace – no longer are they lost.
The Light of the universe lives within alive;
For the Comforter makes residence inside.
Reach out and give comfort to another lost soul.
God’s love from within you now overflows
The Comforter even now gives a word of rhyme to touch the ear,
With some more comforting words for you to hear.

Revelations 2:29
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

John 14:15-18
If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
