The Lord Passes By Poem by Marquita Lawson

Holy Spirit come now fill us with Your grace
Touch our hearts and calm our minds
as we gather in this place to worship You.

Listen! Be still! The Lord passes by!
He sees all hearts there’s nowhere to hide!
Will He see the love as He’s commanded us to show
Or will He see a cold and bitter stone that has grown?

He’s here now! Lord, fill this place
with Your love, do Your will
As we seek your face
Father, strip us from our sinful pride and open up our ear
Silence our wagging tongue so everyone can hear
Your precious word

We pray now You’ll change us who gather here today
Help us to grow and speak words like You would say
As we go through our days,
let us spread Your gift of Love
And everyone will witness
that You’ve come from above to change our hearts.
