The Spirit to Speak


"Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased. Their idols... have mouths, but they speak not... They that make them are like unto them" (Psalm 115:2-8). "The thoughts of the righteous are right... to the counselors of peace is joy" (Proverbs 12:5,20). "Therefore we will wait upon Thee" (Jeremiah 14:22). "For God hath not given us the Spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7).

How vainly do the godless say
That they cannot see evidence
For God's intelligent display,
Yet their deceit has no defense.

The reason for their strange behavior
Is that they still refuse to seek  
The face of Jesus Christ our Savior,
And so in ignorance they speak. 

Yet we who also once were blind
Have now received from God our sight,
And by His Spirit now we find
That we can think and speak aright! 

O Lord, we wait on You alone
For by Your Spirit we have found
The love and power You make known
To speak now with a mind that's sound.
