(Joshua Fit the Battle of Jerico)
C. (Am)What does the Holy Spi- rit do, (E7)Spi- rit do, (Am)Spi- rit do?
(Am)What does the Holy Spi- rit do? the (E7)Spi- rit sancti- (Am)fies.
(Am)That means 'e makes us ho- ly, (E7)ho- ly, (Am)ho- ly.
(Am)That means 'e makes us ho- ly, just (E7)as the name im- (Am)plies.
1. Con-
(Am)cern- ing our sal- va- tion nothing could we do at (E7) all for
(Am)spir- it will and rea-son were de- (E7)feat- ed in the (Am)fall. And
(Am)so we know if we believe in Je- sus Christ our (E7)Lord it's
(Am)on- ly 'cause the Spi- rit has our (E7)dead- ened hearts re- (Am)stored. (E7)Oh,
Chorus:
2. The
Spi- rit's task of mak- ing holy, where does it be- gin? When the
Spi- rit brings the Gos- pel that can free us from our sin. And
how is this ac- com- plished? thru the preach- ing of the Word! The
Spi- rit works cre- a- ting faith where ev- er it is heard. Oh,
Chorus:
3. Al-
though God's grace is ours in Christ and hol- iness begun we
live as "saintly sin- ners" 'til our life on earth is done. And
so the Spirits task continues in our lives each day, for-
giving sins, re- new- ing faith and show- ing us the way. Oh,
Once again:
4. It's
thru the holy Chris- tian Church the Spi- rit does his chores, though
not the buildings but the people gath- ered thru its doors. For
it is here the Word is heard and sac- raments re- ceived,
bring- ing pardon, grant- ing life to all who have be- lieved. Oh,
You guessed it:
5. It's
thru the Holy Spi- rit, then, our life in Christ be- gins and
all thru life the Spi- rit works to cleanse us from our sins, 'til
we reach heaven where forgiveness we'll no longer need, be-
cause from Satan, sin and death we'll be completely freed. Oh,
One final time: (with feeling)
