Holy Spirit, Give Your Gift of Fortitude

 Isaiah 28:16-18

Therefore thus says the Lord God, "See, I am laying in Zion a foundation stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation:

    ‘One who trusts will not panic.’

And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and waters will overwhelm the shelter.

Then, your covenant with death will be annulled . . ."

Deborah and Barak at Mount Tabor

You're the fire and the flood, 

And I'll always feel you in my blood.

 

Everything is fine,

When your hand's resting next to mine,

Next to mine . . . 

 

You're the fire and the flood.
