Spirit or Self?
by Marijo Phelps I'm just a heavenly observer Looking in upon your life To see if peaceful calmness flows Or if you're filled with strife You tell me you have a Savior And that He is your Lord But you yawn when you're singing songs to Him And when you hear His Word you seem bored And if I really question you a lot You say He's given you life anew But I'm not so sure I'd want to take that step If I'd come out starched and stuffy like you. You talk a lot of His Spirit that's Holy And God's Word says He'll comfort and teach But you must make room inside of you Don't push the Spirit off out of reach And when I attend your gatherings I hear you bicker and fuss and sigh Wonder if you've read His many promises? It must make Him want to cry In eternity God's never changed and He never will His Word is valid wherever it's told Can't you stop and step out of your SELF And to His fullness lay hold? Allow Him to clean and throw out the trash That's made you selfish clear through Pray for revival and His Holy Spirit To fill up and indwell you. I used to think, a long time ago That I'd really rather be An earthly person instead of angelic being So I could claim God's inheritance for me Guess He's allowed me to peek at you So I'd stop desiring to come down 'Cuz if I were there instead of here I might catch the soul-sickness that's going round Instead I'll blast my trump for you And play a warning, WAKE UP song Father, Son and Holy Spirit in their fullness are there So shake your apathy NOW, don't wait too long!!!
