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.
