The Spirit Inspires

The Holy Spirit inspires us with His aid,
when we are down, He helps to raise us higher,
when we are lost, He makes us less afraid,
when we feel cold to God, He is our fire.

For most His help, He gives in spiritual ways,
He pours His powerful grace into our soul,
His hints to get us through our daily maze,
He sends some friends to help us reach our goal.

We have to listen, of course, to hear His voice,
we have to tune Him in to do our part,
we have to work to make the proper choice,
we have to watch and pray with all our heart.

O Spirit, prompt my faith and humility,
so I accept the aid You send to me.
