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
