Rely not Deny

For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1 Cor 13:12

I know thy works: behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it; for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Rev 3:8

The Holy Spirit is what I rely on

There is no way for me to deny it

I can’t deny the witness I’ve gotten

I won’t deny the Father who loves me

The prayers I’ve had answered

The guidance I’ve followed

The path I’ve been shown

I can say I know
 

I know who I am

I know where I came from

I know what I’m doing

I know where I’m going

 

A place full of beauty

Where we’ll live in peace

With unconditional love

From our family above
 

A Father who loves us

A family tree

Rejoicing in goodness

Living for service

The knowledge of this

Fills me with peace

I travel with surety

And strive for purity

Sin is forgotten

Pain is no longer

Hard work is light

Because it is right 

Heaven is as real

As the love that we feel

Faith is the evidence

For which we are blessed

 

Christ is the Shepherd

And we are the sheep

Not following blindly

Just promises to keep

 

With strength and with knowledge

And testing the process

The payoff is there

Try if you dare

 

Search in your heart

It was there from the start

But time can erase

What once was in place

The Holy Spirit is what I rely on

I know it and so I cannot deny it

I can’t deny the answers I’ve gotten

I won’t deny the Father who guides me
