Analysis of YOUR SPIRIT STILL WILL FLOW
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
YOUR SPIRIT STILL WILL FLOW
They tell me it's impossible
That my God just can't be
That it's a lie I swallowed whole
And I'm a slave they'll never be
But let me tell you who don't know
How God's Spirit still will flow
We have seen the seas that parted
We watched the walls tumble down
We watched as the fires started
The Lamb was slain without a sound
Brother you just don't even know
How God's Spirit still will flow
They mock, crying that my faith is vain
Tell me I'll die waiting for His Word
But to live is Christ, to die is Gain
Listen scoffer, the Trumpet is heard
Cause the whole worlds about to know
How God's Spirit still will flow
Because we have seen the sick be healed
And we've watched as the dead were raised
Though were tried our faith won't yield
You're battling the truth, about to be amazed
I know you'd do anything not to know
How God's Spirit still will flow
They call me three kinds a fool
For believing what they won't see
But my Jesus will always rule
And He's set this captive free
Lord, please I just gotta know
How Your Spirit still will flow
AMEN

About this poem
Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 2Peter 3:3-4
