Living Under the Influence Part 3 Surrender To the Spirit

Some Christians of the Baptist persuasion View the Holy Spirit as an optional vocation Why do we do this? We must consider to understand That the Holy Spirit represents the feminine woman And not the God head man We must never try to minimize the Holy Spirit's role Don't fall for that deception and give the Devil any control We need the power of the Holy Spirit in order to withstand The machinations of the Devil and its diabolical plans And don't think that your credentials, your deeds nor your awards Will ever be enough to hold up against the Enemy's sword So stop stuttering, stop sputtering and stop quenching the Holy Spirit's power Or you will never experience the living waters At your appointed hour To be that which God designed you to be You must let the Holy Spirit run the show So that those rivers of living water Within you will forever flow The Spirit is always ready to guide you To be the best version of whom you should be As God doesn't do mass productions But individual works of artistry So present yourself as a living sacrifice Renewed and transformed And let your reasonable service of worship Be a commitment to which you've conformed As God will then equip you with the instrument That's unique to your virtuosity Now living under the influence of the Holy Spirit For all the world to see One you must surrender to the Holy Spirit To let go and let God No longer trying to control the outcome Letting God do His part No don't stop critical thinking You need to be able to comprehend That God is God all by Himself And we're just mere women and men As Jesus didn't come to rearrange The outside trappings of your life He came to address the inner you And show you want it means to acquiesce and sacrifice Two you must humble yourself so that you can now envision What God has destined for you and not society's revision Living under the influence of the Holy Spirit of the Lord Christ Is to be continuously filled with the living waters Everyday of your Christian life
