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
