Lesson 296,

The Holy Spirit Speaks Through Me Today.

The Holy Spirit needs my voice today,

That all the world may listen to your voice and hear your word through me.

I am resolved to let you,

Holy Spirit,

Speak through me.

For I would use no words but yours.

I would have no thoughts which are apart from yours,

For only your thoughts are true.

I would be Savior to the world I made.

Having damned this world,

I would set it free,

That I may find escape and hear the word your holy voice will speak to me today.

We teach today what we would learn,

And that alone.

And so our learning goal becomes an unconflicted one.

We teach today what we would learn,

And so our learning goal becomes possible of easy reach and quick accomplishment.

How gladly does the Holy Spirit come to rescue us from hell.

We are rescued when we allow the Holy Spirit's teaching to persuade the world through us to seek and find the easy path to God.
