Spirit Song

I have known the melody that goes along with this song for years...but never have I taken the time to focus on the words, until today. They are based on Ephesians 3:17, "that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love..." Awesome words. It is a beautiful song. A lovely melody and words written by John Wimber. There are some beautiful nuggets and jewels in this one.


Oh let the Son of God enfold you with His Spirit and His love,
let Him fill your life and satisfy your soul.
O let Him have the things that hold you,
and His Spirit, like a dove,
will descend upon your life and make you whole.

Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill Your lambs.
Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill Your lambs.

O come and sing this song with gladness
as your hearts are filled with joy,
lift your hands in sweet surrender to His name.
O give Him all your tears and sadness,
give Him all your years of pain,
and you'll enter into life in Jesus' name.

Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill Your lambs.
Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill Your lambs.

We need to give up those things that we hold dear and give up the things that hold us back. Even if we are already His lambs, we are sinful, we still hold on to things that we shouldn't, we still struggle with pain and some of us have held on to pain for years. We need to give Him all our tears, sadness, and years of pain. It's in giving up those things, and leaving them at the foot of the cross, that we receive freedom and make ourselves open to His filling us and His using us.
We have such an awesome God. One who is so full of unending, boundless love, grace and patience. He draws us to Him, saves us, fills us with Himself, and holds on to us so that we make it to the end. He starts the work and He finishes it.
We have an awesome God!
