Dwell In Our Souls

Dwell in Our Souls
By Kristin Ball

I want so much to be free
Free from the addictions that enslave me
Free from the habits that consume my life
The distractions that lessen me as a mother and wife.

As a sister and a daughter, I fail to be
The very best person God wants for me
I am a friend of Jesus, a follower of Him
Yet these worldly desires still satisfy a whim.

Certain disaster is the result of my sin
As I search for rest from Christ within
I know that I must depend on my Father alone
But temptations of the flesh are brightly shown.

We live in this world so dark from death
But the life of the Spirit is in our every breath
It is true that Jesus dwells in each baptized heart
When we belong to His Church, He will never depart.

We are protected always by the God of Love
And we’re forever connected with His Kingdom above
No matter the fetish from this world we adopt
Our God cannot be defeated or secretly stopped.

With Faith we believe His love will continue
Because of His Grace there’s only one thing to do
Love our God with everything inside of us
And accept His gift like a child of trust.

Know with humble confidence that the Spirit is strong
Who helps us choose right when we’ve done wrong
There’s nothing on earth that completely controls
When the Father, Son, and Spirit dwell in our souls.

Thank you, Jesus!
