Spirit of Truth

I am glad that I'm forgiven
And washed of all my sin
I'm glad that Jesus is my friend
The Spirit of truth within.

Jesus He won't let me down
No better friend I found
From sinking sand He raised me up
To stand on solid ground.

I'm glad my destiny is secure
For all my hopes in Him
I cannot do without my Lord
The spirit of truth within.
