Jesus Living On The Inside

How can anyone describe
Jesus living inside you?
It’s like having a shower head
Inside your heart,
Continually spraying
Soothing, comforting,
Energizing, thrilling, and refreshing
Streams of joy, love, peace, faith, and hope
All through your emotions, your mind, and your soul.
Jesus put it this way: “Whoever believes in Me,
As the Scripture has said, rivers of living water
Will flow from within them.”

Jesus streaming inside of me
Won’t freely let me do my thing,
Or follow and exalt my own desires,
Or approve and applaud those who do,
Without shutting down His spiritual flow.
He rouses my conscience
And makes me deeply feel
My great need to obey Him,
No matter what my cravings say,
Or what people think about me,
Or how society seduces me
To abandon His commandments
And flaunt rebellious independence.
I must be true to Christ
And cannot deny His word
To please any person or group.
