Filled With The Spirit

I heard a report
just the other night
of a woman who was walking on air
her tongue had been loosed
to that glorious chorus
and suddenly the weight wasn't there

Oh come Holy Spirit
and fill every room
of my heart
of my soul
of my life
I give you control
of my legs, hands and voice
such a wonderful story to share

It really doesn't matter
if you're not that young
seen the world spin around a few times
your youth will be renewed
like the flight of an eagle
as you sing out in angelic rhyme

Oh praise the Creator
who gives flight to me
shows me faith
shows me hope
shows me love
I'll follow the currents
and give all I have
to the artist of all that's sublime

She isn't that different
from all those who walk
through the valleys while carrying a load
prays for her family
loves all her neighbors
tries to stay on the straight narrow road

But Oh hallelujah
He breathed out His Spirit
cleansed her through
built her up
gave her wings
and now she goes out
to share what He's given
that's just how the comforter's sowed

We all think we're captains
while riding the high seas
although tossed about by the wind
hands tight on the tiller
with spray in our face
our baggage stowed safely within

Oh glory to Jesus
who rests in the craft
should we fret
should we scheme
should we fear
our tongues a small member
but freed to His Spirit
new lives, let the victories begin
