Compelled to Preach – v4

The Spirit controlling
the flesh weak
submitting to God
that I may teach
that I may reach
that I may sow

Compelled to preach
to share one message
the gospel coming
pouring from me
water flowing, a torrent
where I do not know

Nothing of choice
truly taken over
the Spirit giving
only that I be empty
that I may be filled
that I may be poured

Giving myself over
to God’s holy word
the Spirit giving
that I may be ready
Sharing His message
out into the world
