::a great song::

The choir at church sang a fantastic song on Sunday night.

I borrowed the music from my Mom and have been singing it all week long.  I want to record the words here so I don't forget them.

The Holy Spirit came at Pentecost,
He came in mighty fullness then;
His witness through believers won the lost,
And multitudes were born again.

The early Christians scattered o'er the world,
They preached the gospel fearlessly;
Though some were martyred and to lions hurled,
They marched along in victory!

Come, Holy Spirit, dark is the hour;
We need Your filling,
Your love and Your mighty pow'r.
Move now among us;
Stir us, we pray.
Come, Holy Spirit, revive the church today!

Then in an age when darkness gripped the earth,
"The just shall live by faith" was learned;
The Holy Spirit gave the church new birth
As Reformation fires burned.

In later years the great revivals came,
When saints would seek the Lord and pray;
Oh, once again we need that holy flame
To meet the challenge of today!

Come, Holy Spirit, dark is the hour;
We need Your filling, Your love and Your mighty pow'r.
Move now among us;
Stir us, we pray.
Come, Holy Spirit, Revive the Church today!

I love good  music!!
