Passion by Stan Schmidt
Holy Spirit
continue to inspire so that my passion would not tire
The preaching of the cross
- the Gospel, the Word -
which in no way is absurd but is the power of God
Who came to seek and save the lost
My Lord I count the cost
to preach and to teach
the nations under satan's hold -
Those outside Your fold for whom Your blood flowed.....
Reconciliation, the plan of the Lord
Justification for the ungodly is what the Father has stored up
Through the Lamb who died and rose
How can we compose ourselves with such truth?
Oh the unsearchable riches
the reality of the cross
the remission of our dross....
Sometimes redemption and the freedom from sin
Makes me want to jump right out of my skin
Oh tie me down lest I float away....
A passion for the Lamb is what I pray
The blood, the favour
The Redeemer who bore the sin
At times makes my spirit soar....
May the Gospel be our passion
The Word our fuel
and the Spirit the power
in this harvest hour.....
