Pour Out Your Spirit
by Barbara Philbrook

Pour out your spirit Lord please pour it out on me,
I surrender willingly Dear Father so willingly to thee.

There is so much that can be accomplished if we all do our part,
won't you accept the surrender from deep within my heart.

Won't you work with me to perform the work that is there to do,
there is nothing that would please me more Dear Lord than serving you.

I love you Father with every fiber of my being,
my knowledge of your existence is through faith it is not built on what I am seeing.

Your word has given me the courage to always carry on,
your promises are what I have built my foundation upon.

Your Holy Spirit has been my teacher, my interpreter, and my guide,
and your Holy Spirit has been the moderator the control keeper of my pride.

I am nothing but what you in your deep graciousness have allowed me to be,
I pray Dear Father there is more that you can accomplish through me.

I pray that the willingness and desire to be used to further your cause,
is enough to show others that you can turn to good the sinfulness that I once was.

I pray Dear Father that I am satisfied with whatever you in your wisdom have allotted me to be,
and that I fulfill your desires and  accomplish all that you expect of me.

Pour out your Spirit Lord and give me all of the wisdom I need,
so that in all that you have set forth for me I may succeed.

Pour out your Spirit Lord let my aspirations in this life be those that you have set for me,
let me remember that it's Your will not my will that is the ultimate goal for me.
