If The Holy Spirit Leads


Some doctrine, dogma, theory, thought seems so valid when it's not.
Is it revelation though or speculation; do you know?
When men's assumptions are forgot, they sound like facts, but they are not,
And on this sandy soil of lies they build a tower to the skies.

chorus:
If the Holy Spirit leads each one who yields, each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!

The mind is wicked to deceive, and many tricks are up its sleeve.
It takes some theory from the pit and twists the Word of God to fit.
Oh those strongholds in the mind, how they hold us, how they bind!
All these theories, take away. Expose them to the light of day.

chorus:
If the Holy Spirit leads each one who yields, each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!

God's Word is pure, but logic? No! Together they're an awful flow.
This mixture has a tainted stink, a doctrine that's not fit to drink.
Oh! but if the Spirit leads, if we yield, if we concede,
Laying down all that we know, then we can begin to grow.

chorus:
If the Holy Spirit leads each one who yields, each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!

Don't resist Him when He leads for He know of all your needs.
He leads you to be filled today. He leads you in His holy way.
He leads you to His Word with prayer to find a pleasant respite there,
Where reasoning is of little use, but He reveals His holy Truth.

chorus:
If the Holy Spirit leads each one who yields, each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!

The Spirit leads if we obey; if we resist, He goes away.
O Christian, have you heard His voice, but made, instead, a different choice?
As Baalim, did the Spirit show? But, when you spurned Him, bid you, "Go!"
You can repent and turn around. See Him while He may be found.

chorus:
If the Holy Spirit leads each one who yields, each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!

Apostles, prophets you have seen in the Word. What can this mean?
Put aside what you have learned. Only Spirit can discern.
You can hear the Spirit say that somewhere in the Church today
God has restored to you and me the five gifts of ministry.

chorus:
If the Holy Spirit leads each one who yields, each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!

Apostolic ministry must move in total unity.
Sent by self? It is in vain. Sent by men? Where is the gain?
God set the apostles for a foundation and what's more
Doctrine is revealed to them as the Scripture does proclaim.

chorus:
If the Holy Spirit leads each one who yields, each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!

Many ran who were not sent, and God's ways they broke or bent,
Saying what folks love to hear, drawing those with itching ears.
The Spirit tells you how you need true apostles who will lead.
If you yield, He will reveal. He will show you what is real.

chorus:
If the Holy Spirit leads each one who yields, each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!

Count your education loss. Leave it hanging on the cross.
Seek the Lord with all your might. let Him bring His Word to light.
For bread, He won't give you a stone, nor snake for fish unto His own.
He's the one whom you can trust. He is good and kind and just.

chorus:
If the Holy Spirit leads each one who yields, each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!
