By My Spirit
Spiritual Wisdom: Embracing Simplicity, Charity, and Humility
Lyrics
Not by your wisdom and not by your reason
Not relying on personal wisdom or reason
Not by your own design
Avoiding dependence on individual design or plans
Not by your power and not by your scheming
Rejecting reliance on personal power or scheming
Not by your strength or pride
Avoiding dependence on personal strength or pride
But by my Spirit, says the Lord
Emphasizing reliance on the Lord's Spirit
I will establish perfect peace
The Lord promises to establish perfect peace
All that I ask of you my child
The Lord's request for simplicity, charity, and humility
Is to live simplicity, live my charity, live humility
Guidance on living a life of simplicity, charity, and humility
Not by your knowledge or own understanding
Not relying on personal knowledge or understanding
Not by your will alone
Acknowledging the insufficiency of personal will alone
Not by your questions and not by your doubting
Avoiding dependence on personal questions and doubting
Not by your hand alone
Acknowledging the limitations of personal actions
But by my Spirit, says the Lord
Emphasizing reliance on the Lord's Spirit
I will establish perfect peace
The Lord promises to establish perfect peace
All that I ask of you my child
The Lord's request for simplicity, charity, and humility
Is to live simplicity, live my charity, live humility
Guidance on living a life of simplicity, charity, and humility
Not by hatred, malice, or greed
Not relying on hatred, malice, or greed
Not by vengeance or fear
Avoiding dependence on vengeance or fear
Not the way you might think or devise
Rejecting ways of thinking or devising that are contrary to the Lord's
Not the way you might plan
Avoiding plans that diverge from the Lord's will
But by my Spirit, says the Lord
Emphasizing reliance on the Lord's Spirit
I will establish perfect peace
The Lord promises to establish perfect peace
All that I ask of you my child
The Lord's request for simplicity, charity, and humility
Is to live simplicity, live my charity, live humility
Guidance on living a life of simplicity, charity, and humility
But by my Spirit, says the Lord
Emphasizing reliance on the Lord's Spirit
I will establish perfect peace
The Lord promises to establish perfect peace
All that I ask of you my child
The Lord's request for simplicity, charity, and humility
Is to live simplicity, live my charity, live humility
Guidance on living a life of simplicity, charity, and humility
