Holy Ghost Power
Quickened to possess eternal life
my soul arose “from the house of the dead*”
regenerated by the Holy Ghost
now dwelling in my body**
making me a new creature---
empowered to vanquish carnal cravings
along spiritual steadfastness
while yielded unto Sovereign omnipotence
for triumphant blessed servanthood
freely reaching-out to others
with love, peace, and joy flowing ~~~
from God the Holy Spirit.
*phrase from contest sponsor
**1Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
