The Spirit of the Lord,
Is always within me;
It cannot be ignored,
With opened eyes I see.
He has anointed me,
To express the Gospel;
Open the eyes to see,
Of the humble people.
He has sent me to heal,
Who has a broken heart;
For the spiritual zeal,
In getting a new start.
I speak to the captives,
That they are free of sin;
No longer fugitives,
A new life to begin.
He sent me to announce,
For the year of good will;
If Satan you renounce,
Blessings He does instill.
The days of His vengeance,
Now comforts all who grieve;
By showing diligence,
That you truly believe.
To give oil of joy,
Rather than tears of grief;
Enabled to destroy,
The thoughts of disbelief.
In giving clothes of praise,
Not spirits of weakness;
One trusts as he obeys,
Rather than of bleakness.
Because they will be named,
The Oaks of Righteousness;
Rooted and been proclaimed,
Flowing with blessedness.
