Hymn/Song Information

The Spirit of life is within us today

The Spirit of life
is within us today,
Who’s likened to water
our thirst to allay;
Of Him we may drink
and be filled thus with Him,
Until as a river
He flows from within.

The Spirit of pow’r
comes upon us today,
Who’s likened to clothing
ourselves to array;
In Him we are baptized,
with Him we are dressed,
For service equipping
with power possessed.

The Spirit of life
is as breath glorious,
As spirit of life
it is breathed into us;
The Spirit of pow’r
doth the wind typify,
Which bloweth upon us
with pow’r from on high.

Into His disciples
the risen Lord breathed,
The Spirit of life thus
to them He bequeathed;
Th’ ascended Lord poured
at the Pentecost hour
Upon His disciples
the Spirit of pow’r.

The Spirit of life
is within as the life,
The Spirit of power
is giv’n for this life;
As blowing of wind- brings
the fresh air to breathe,
The Spirit of power
to life doth bequeath.

These are not two spirits
apart and afar,
But of the one Spirit
the two functions are,
To clothe us with God
and to fill us within,
That we may be thoroughly
mingled with Him.

Lord, fill with Thy Spirit
of life every part,
That we may grow up
in Thy life as Thou art;
And clothe us without
with Thy Spirit of pow’r
Thy will to fulfill in
Thy service each hour.
