The Spirit helps when we are weak,
For not knowing what we should pray;
Intercedes with the words we seek,
With groans too deep for words to say.
Anyone who searches their heart,
Knows of the mind of the Spirit;
And aware of what to impart,
For doing a proper merit.
The Spirit intercedes with saints,
According to the will of God;
Ensure in having the constraints,
As to not in becoming flawed.
We know that for those who love God,
All things work together for good;
As they praise to honor and laud,
As ongoing thanks that they should.
Those who are called to His purpose,
For those of whom that He foreknew;
Guided by the moral compass,
Even as Gentile or Jew.
Rather as conformed to the Son,
In order to be the first born;
Victory over sin is won,
Where so many siblings sojourn.
For those whom He had preordained,
Those whom He also justified;
Iniquities no more enchained,
For they are pardoned and glorified.
What then shall we say of these things,
If God is for who is against;
The everlasting love He brings,
Since spiritual love that commenced.
He did not spare His only Son,
Rather gave Him up for us all;
Ever since whence time had begun,
For Adam had taken the fall.
It is God who justifies them,
So, they can then graciously live;
To pardon and not to condemn,
Of all things to gracefully give.
