Jesus Said It Is Expedient

Jesus said, "It is expedient for me to go away.

But, I'll send you another Comforter

To guide you from day to day."

So they tarried at Jerusalem for power from on high.

And that same Spirit that they received, within my heart abides.

And I can feel His sweet Holy Spirit, a dwelling deep within,

Well, sometimes, it feels so gentle;

And sometimes like a mighty rushing wind.

And that same Spirit that raised Jesus up

From death and the grave.

It shall raise this old body up

And take me home someday.

Oh, they laid Him in an empty tomb

And rolled that stone up to the door.

They put soldiers there to guard it.

They thought they'd done away with my Lord.

Oh, but on that third day the stone was rolled away,

And He came forth, came from the grave.

And that same Spirit that raised Jesus up

Will take me home someday.

And I can feel His sweet Holy Spirit, a dwelling deep within.

Well, sometimes, it feels so gentle;

And sometimes like a mighty rushing wind.

And that same Spirit that raised Jesus up

From death and the grave.

It shall raise this old body up

And take me home someday.

It shall raise this old body up

And take me home someday.
