Truth and Transformation


“The Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt… be turned into another man” (1 Samuel 10:6).  “Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom… The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe” (Proverbs 18:1,10).  “But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 13:14).

The Spirit of the Lord comes in
And brings about a transformation
Whenever someone flees from sin
By seeking God and His salvation. 

The Lord transforms our heart’s desire
That we may seek His saving power. 
He draws us to the place that’s higher,  
To Christ our Refuge and our Tower. 

As sinners to the Lord we ran,
As to a Shelter in the storm,
And thus we found His saving plan
With grace to save and to transform! 

He clothed us in the righteousness
Of Jesus Christ who died for us! 
We need no more and nothing less;
His grace and truth are marvelous! 

How wonderful it truly is
To contemplate our Savior’s love,
To know we are forever His
And we shall dwell with Him above. 

We thank You, Lord, for what You did
By Your transforming truth and grace,
For in Your name our souls are hid;
There is no other hiding place!

Now send us forth, Lord, to proclaim  
This great transforming truth You give:  
We find our refuge in Your name;
Because You live, we also live.
