[opening]
The spirit brings us truth and gives us strength
It convicts and edifies us boldening our faith.
[verse 1]
I was born a sinner in a broken world
Living for myself leading others away
The he gave me his spirit and his word
Reined in my life took my sin away
His grace has abounded and I am free
Free and strengthened to do his will
Just ask him he will give you will see
[chorus]
Holy Spirit lay ahold of me open my eyes
Show me the secrets of your ways
Give me eyes to see and ears to hear
Should I love or should I fear
Direct this new heart you’ve given me
[verse 2]
Where should I I focus my prayers
Who am I supposed to minister to
Do I go to the blind and naysayers
Or is it the brother I am speaking to
Holy Spirit is here to guide me
It’s up to me to listen and act
He has given me the authority and that’s a fact
[chorus]
Holy Spirit lay ahold of me open my eyes
Show me the secrets of your ways
Give me eyes to see and ears to hear
Should I love or should I fear
Direct this new heart you’ve given me
[bridge]
Thank you lord for giving us your spirit
Convicting us even when we don’t want it
Guiding us even though we don’t deserve it
Giving us truth and providing us wisdom
Strengthening us while we build the kingdom
Praise the Lord because he’s there when we need him
[chorus]
Holy Spirit lay ahold of me open my eyes
Show me the secrets of your ways
Give me eyes to see and ears to hear
Should I love or should I fear
Direct this new heart you’ve given me
