The Spirit of God has been given to me And the giving has not been in vain. The Spirit of God has been given anew So that anyone seeking the truth, The life and the way May know Jesus Christ is God's name. Make sure your prisoners go free, Make sure your blind people see, Otherwise, I've wasted my time Walking around Galilee. Make sure the poor hear the word, Make sure your children are heard, Otherwise, I've wasted my pain Hanging there in my agony. Make sure the hungry are fed, That the homeless ones all have a bed, Otherwise, I've wasted my life Coming on back from the dead. Be sure when breaking my bread, That courage and joy have their head. Otherwise, I've wasted my love Pouring my spirit. my blood. Dream Lady – Kevin Bates
