Opening Hymns:.“Every Time I Feel the Spirit” #404 UMH
Words and Music: Afro-American spiritual Adapt. and arr.
© 1989 The United Methodist Publishing House
Refrain
Every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart,
I will pray. Yes, every time I feel the Spirit moving
in my heart, I will pray.
1. Upon the mountain, my Lord spoke, out his mouth
came fire and smoke. All around me looks so shine,
ask my Lord if all was mine.
Every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart,
I will pray. Yes, every time I feel the Spirit moving
in my heart, I will pray.
2. Jordan river runs right cold, chills the body, not
the soul. Ain’t but one train on this track, runs
to heaven and right back.
Every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart,
I will pray. Yes, every time I feel the Spirit moving
in my heart, I will pray.
“Spirit Song” #347, UMH
Words and Music: John Wimber, 1979 © 1979 Mercy Publishing
1. O let the Son of God enfold you with his Spirit and his love.
Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.
O let him have the things that hold you, and his Spirit like a dove
will descend upon your life and make you whole.
Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill your lambs.
Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill your lambs.
2. O come and sing this song with gladness as your hearts are filled with joy.
Lift your hands in sweet surrender to his name.
O give him all your tears and sadness; give him all your years of pain,
and you’ll enter into life in Jesus’ name.
Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill your lambs.
Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill your lambs.

Scripture Lesson:….John 15:26-27; 16:4b-15…Margaret S.
“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, he will testify on my behalf. You also are to testify because you have been with me from the beginning.
“I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because they do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned. “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
