The Hot Air Balloon
Like a hot air balloon lying on the ground
So it was with my soul before the Lord I found
Woven and stitched in such a finely knitted lace
And all throughout this balloon you could see God's Face
But with such a heavenly cloud speckled blue sky
It just didn't have the one thing it needed to fly
But it was right there just like we all would know
And that balloon looks so helpless without that glow
There on the ground lacking but just that one thing
As all around it you can hear the birds chirp and sing
It needed but only that uplifting flame
As all you need to do is call upon the Holy Spirit by Name
And once it had just that one single light
That balloon began to fill and stand up right
And as He lifts you, your feet firmly planted on the floor
This is the time that your spirit is going to soar
