You Are His Temple


Do you realize your body
Is the temple of the Lord
If you don't, please take the time
And read it in His word
The Holy Spirit enters
The moment you get saved
A lot of things have to go
To which you were enslaved

Old habits which were hard to break
Will disappear and go
If you will let God's Spirit
Have the full control
The things you thought would never leave
Will bend and disappear
For certain things can't stay
If God's Spirit, He is there

God's Spirit He is Holy
Don't ever let Him grieve
For if He is not welcome
He will surely leave
He can't exist where there's no love
For love is who He is
If you want Him in your life
Your body must be His

When you have God's Spirit
Within your life each day
You must be careful what you do
Be careful what you say
For He goes everywhere you go
And sees all the things you see
He won't dwell with wickedness
So from all evil flee

To please the Spirit of our God
Is what we all must do
Allow His presence daily
To live and walk with you
Allow His gentle leading
To mould your life each day
Your life will be more Christ-like
When God's Spirit has His way
