TEACH BY THE SPIRIT
As we prepare a lesson let the spirit be our guide,
Then the message to be given He will never hide,
Let the Holy Spirit guide and prompt us every day
And when we teach the right words will come our way.
Do not just read out the lesson however good it sounds,
It is there as a guide and when the spirit fully abounds,
There in the pages is a message pure, simple and sweet,
That to the listener some needful healing gently meet.
We are told that we cannot teach if the spirit is not there,
Oh yes, we can stand and give the lesson, it will be just air.
Live a life that when you are called upon at any time,
That to give a lesson on anything will work out fine.
But if you have time to prepare do it well and with love,
Feel the blessing of heaven pour down from heaven above,
Let those you teach feel the spirit not just sit and yawn,
For just to read a lesson no teacher was ever born.
