O God the Holy Spirit

This is a new hymn written by David Ward from over at ReformedPraise.org (which is a GREAT site, I highly recommend it!).  It's based on the prayer, "The Spirit's Work" from The Valley of Vision.  It's a wonderful song that celebrates the Spirit's work in giving us peace, assurance in the cross, and a soul-satisfying vision of Christ.  Click here to go over to Reformed Praise and listen to the song or download the mp3, chord chart, or lead sheet.


O God the Holy Spirit
Eternal One of Three
My comforter and teacher,
Be merciful to me.
You hovered over chaos
The land and sea to part;
So manifest Your power
To calm my restless heart.

O God the Holy Spirit
Direct me to the cross
Where I can see the suffering
My waywardness has cost
In Jesus' death please show me
The power of my sin
And by His life convince me
This battle He will win

O God the Holy Spirit
Put Jesus on display:
Remind me how my Savior
Took all my guilt away.
My sins were all forgiven
And satisfaction made;
Atonement was completed,
My captive soul was saved.

O God the Holy Spirit
Come deepen and impart
These saving, loving lessons
Upon my desperate heart
That I might loathe my evil
And flee from Satan's snares
Then run to my Redeemer
And cast on Him my cares
