THE HOLY GHOST IS MY COMPANION

The Holy Ghost is my Companion,
My Teacher and my Guide.
Since I belong to Jesus,
Within me He doth reside.

Since my body is His Temple,
Though it is but made of clay,
I must not desecrate it
By what I do or think or say.

The Holy Ghost is my Companion,
Spirit of the living God,
Who will safely lead me always
As in the Way I trod.

He reveals the Truth that's written
In the pages of God's Word
If I will but study with Him
And heed what I have heard.

The Holy Ghost is my Companion.
He reveals the Father's will
If I am open to receive it,
Yielded, submissive, waiting, still.

The Holy Ghost is my Instructor:
His tiny classroom is my mind.
Patiently He daily teaches,
One-on-one, God's Truth sublime.

The Holy Ghost is my Companion,
Instructor, Comforter and Guide,
Walking with me, ever present,
Step-by-step and stride-for-stride.

The Holy Ghost is my Companion,
Sent by Jesus Christ, God's Son,
To dwell with me, to guide and comfort.
Praise to God, the Three-in-One.
