The Holy Spirit

James Johnson 1952 (Algoma, WV)



Without us the body dies
We are Holy
We are Ghosts
We bridge realms

Then, now and forever
We hear hearts stop
And we hear you cry
We know why
and we pass on everything

Even

When you're bad, We're a Demon.
When you're good, We're a Saint.
When we listen and obey our Maker.
When we even escape the Undertaker.

Who told you such a lie?
We never die, so don't cry.
We even heard your final reply,
So come now and lets fly.
