Reflections on John 3: 8

Reflections on John 3: 8 The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

There is a Wind that blows
It blows, like a rolling thunder
A gentle breeze that flows
Oh how it flows, filling us with wonder

So mighty is this Wind rushing where it may
It has calmed the seas and held oceans at bay
This Wind can gently lift the bird’s wings as it flies
And fill newborns delicate lungs for its very first cry

So powerful is this Wind no one can stand in its wake
Whole armies have fell as it made heaven and earth shake
When man hits bottom and cries out Jesus please save me
This very Wind lifts him up to the Father of grace and mercy

In the depths of our souls we can feel the Wind rumble
As we fall into the darkness in which we often stumble
Ever so gently as the last shadows are quickly closing in
We can hear His sweet voice call our name from deep within

As this Wind gently blows on the ember it ignited
God’s mighty breath, his very Wind fuels the flame
And then once again our hearts, minds and souls
With the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are united
Thank you Lord Jesus for coming to call
And setting us free one time for all
