"Ye know not what manner of Spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them" (Luke 9:55,56). "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).
The manner of Spirit God's people are of
Is not that of fear, but of power and love.
The mind of the Spirit that God gave to each,
Is sound in the truth of the Gospel we preach.
The Spirit we're of persistently strives
As in Noah's day, for the saving of lives,
To draw them to Christ, and not to destroy.
The cross was endured for that prospect of joy.
