Sweet Holy Spirit
(Spiritual Song)
Sweet Holy Spirit, o how you are
welcome, o how you are welcome in this place.
Sweet Holy Spirit come fall upon us,
fall upon us in this place.
Sweet Holy Spirit, lead us
closer, come lead us closer in this place.
Speak forth what you hear from
the throne room,
speak forth what God wants us to
know.
Reveal the plans of God our
Father,
reveal the way back into His loving
arms.
Sweet Holy Spirit, o how you are
welcome, o how you are welcome in this place.
Sweet Holy Spirit, come shower us
with our Father’s grace.

A Poetic View
When I look at America the country that I have
been created and ordained to live and work in, I see many things. I see a
country that is so full and rich with possibilities, that it overflows to the
outside of our borders and then out into the ocean. I see a country that was started on the
principle that without God at the center of everything, we as a country would not
make it, period. I see a country so full and deep with wisdom that no one could
mistakenly say that God was not a part of our very foundation. America, God has poured out His
spirit in you for over two hundred years, He cares about where we are now, and
where we are going as a people. God has continued to this very day to call out our
name, day after day after day; America
are we willing to answer His call?
America when I look at you, I see a
country that has a heart to reach out to help others when they are hurting and
left without hope. I see a country that
not only raises money and offers monetary support to other countries, but also supports
many less than fortunate countries with brotherly protection.
Looking deep into the heart of America, I see an assortment of people
who have come from many nations seeking a place of refuge, and a place of
safety from the raging storms of life. I
see a country where people are drawn like a magnet to its shores, year after
year.
So what is it about this country that we call America? What’s so different about America in
comparison to any other country in the whole wide world? Well, you may say that
it is because people can come and experience freedom like they have never known
before. Many will speak about the endless opportunities that people can have to
provide for their families, so they can enjoy the many pleasures of life. But
what does God say about America?
America, God has never let you out of
His sight although you may have felt forsaken at times. God has divine plans
for you. His plans are to prosper you and not to harm you but to give you a
future and a hope. America, if you
truly repent and turn back from the ways of the world and direct your whole
heart back to the Almighty Sovereign God, then you will see the very best of our
country.
America the beautiful, a county so full
of God’s love and His grace, know that God loves you and He desires to see you
become all that His hands has created and designed you to become. God has
invested so much in our country since its birth over two hundred years ago. It
is time to reclaim our heritage and return to our roots. America, are you ready for your
change?
