SC: Creed: God the Holy Spirit - Article III

"Called, Gathered, Kept" (Verse 1) I believe in the Spirit, the Lord who gives life, He calls me from darkness, my heart set aright. Not by my own choosing, my will’s not my own, But by His sweet gospel, my faith has been sown. He’s opened my eyes, given gifts of His grace, Keeps me in the true faith, secure in my place. And just as He calls me, He gathers the fold, The Church of all ages, His mercy unfolds. (Chorus) Oh, Spirit, You’ve called me, gathered me in, Sanctified my soul, forgiven my sin. You hold me in Jesus, in faith ever true, And daily renew me – this is most certain and true. (Verse 2) In the holy communion of saints I belong, United in Christ, through His Spirit so strong. He keeps us together, one body, one head, Forgiving our sins, raising life from the dead. Each day, grace abounds in the Church here on earth, Through Word and through water, You give us new birth. And when this life ends, still Your work’s not done, For You’ll raise me in glory to shine like the Son. (Chorus) Oh, Spirit, You’ve called me, gathered me in, Sanctified my soul, forgiven my sin. You hold me in Jesus, in faith ever true, And daily renew me – this is most certain and true. (Bridge) No power of mine could lead me to Christ, But You’ve drawn me near through His sacrifice. The gospel’s the fire that ignites my soul, And Your Spirit keeps burning till I reach my goal. (Outro) I believe in the Spirit, the Church He sustains, The communion of saints where His promise remains. The resurrection awaits, life eternal in view, Through Jesus my Savior – this is most certainly true. (Chorus – Repeat) Oh, Spirit, You’ve called me, gathered me in, Sanctified my soul, forgiven my sin. You hold me in Jesus, in faith ever true, And daily renew me – this is most certain and true.
