The Spirit Knows

THE SPIRIT KNOWS I charge you, men puffed with knowledge Who try to discern and struggle to predict The attitude, character and true personality of God Withdraw into your shells in shame For how long will you guess in vain? You who look to the skies and stars You who look to the face and expressions And hypnotize men to believe your lie Withdraw into your shells in shame For how long will you guess in vain? How foolish is your folly o star gazer How wrong are your judgments o palm reader Even you, moralists who are yoked with burden How much you fail trying to be righteous By being moral against God’s standards. Learn from Jonah; repent in your shells For in God’s Word it is clearly written that For as much as no one knows a man Save the man’s spirit, so also no one knows God Save God’s Spirit. Quit your self-deception, stop deceiving men Humble yourself at God’s feet as a child And learn of Him who created all things Assumptions, presumptions, carelessness and hypocrisy These are your sins; it is time to repent. Seek not the living among the dead Only God knows. But if you desire to know Free yourself from the law and submit to grace Receive the Spirit of God and become a part of the Body of Christ The fullness of Him that fills all in all.
