459 Heed the Work of the Holy Spirit
Intro
What kind of people are enlightened by the Holy Spirit?
Verse 1
They are nimble and precise in their thinking.
When they’re given a feeling and enlightenment,
such people recognize the Holy Spirit’s work,
realizing God wishes to work in this way.
At times when they are being reprimanded,
they sense this quickly and then are constrained.
Pre-chorus 1
Those who lack spiritual understanding
and are careless cannot see these things.
Ignore enlightenment three, four times in a row,
and then the Holy Spirit works no more.
They don’t heed the work of the Holy Spirit,
so the Holy Spirit enlightens them no more.
Chorus
When believing in God, your thinking must be precise.
You must concentrate on knowing yourself
and on taking God’s words seriously.
To understand God’s will, you must understand the truth
and gain knowledge and experience,
then you’ll gain the work of the Holy Spirit.
Verse 2
The Holy Spirit’s work is especially real.
Some are only able to understand the truth,
but in terms of the work of the Holy Spirit,
they simply do not have the experience.
From now on, pay heed to the most subtle of light,
pay heed to the most subtle of feelings.
Pre-chorus 2
When something happens to you, you must observe it,
and you must approach it from truth’s perspective,
then you’ll slowly enter onto the right track.
Chorus
When believing in God, your thinking must be precise.
You must concentrate on knowing yourself
and on taking God’s words seriously.
To understand God’s will, you must understand the truth
and gain knowledge and experience,
then you’ll gain the work of the Holy Spirit.
