Our Precious Holy Spirit
Gem #90 – Our Precious Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit champions our cause with Jesus Christ, with groans that words cannot express. O my soul! you are ready to burst within me. O my heart! you are swollen with grief. The hot tide of my emotion would readily overflow the channels of my veins. I long to speak, but the very desire chains my tongue. I wish to pray, but the fervency of my feeling curbs my language. There is a groaning within that cannot be uttered. Do you know who can utter that groaning? Who can understand it, and who can put it into heavenly language, and utter it in a celestial language, and utter it in a celestial tongue, so that Christ can hear it? O yes; it is God the Holy Spirit; He defends our cause with Christ, and then Christ defends it with His Father. He is the advocate who makes intercession for us, with groans that words cannot express.
