Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit

When I wake in the morning,
He is waiting for me there.
When the bright new day is dawning;
And I have no fear or care.

Closer than my heartbeat,
In the soft sweet morning light.
He speaks with sweet excitement;
As we brush away the night.

He is always there beside me.
He whispers in the breeze;
Love songs and admonition,
In the clamor of the leaves.

I know he journeys with me;
Wherever I may go.
Though he sometimes stands in silence;
This is something that I know.

There are times I cannot see him;
When in darkness there he hides.
I hold tightly to his promise;
That the darkness will subside.

I love the days of sunshine,
When I feel he holds me close.
But the days he hides in darkness;
Are the days I need him most.

But as we journey onward;
I try not to complain or fuss.
At the times when he is silent;
He is teaching me to trust.

This is very good Wanda. So true. sometimes when we wonder why Jesus isnt there we may not understand why at the time but later on in life we have figured out its on his time and its his way of showing us what he needed us to know.
