Bridle, Rudder, Spark

(To Holy Spirit)

Bridle, turn me toward the narrow road

Ruddr help me steer my heavy load

Spark, you are the spark that starts a fire in me

Bridle, rudder, spark for my eternity!

I was untamed 'til you bridled my ways

floating towards destruction 'til you steered me away

I Lived in cold and darkness until a fire you sparked

That consumes me now and drives out the dark

Bridle, turn my eyes to things above

Rudder, turn me towards the harbor of love

Spark ignite my desire to serve my Lord

Bridle, rudder, spark you're my reward!

I was untamed 'til you bridled my ways

floating towards destruction 'til you steered me away

I Lived in cold and darkness until a fire you sparked

That consumes me now and drives out the dark

You guide me- you keep me You love me so deeply

You move me and use me You never refuse me your best- I'm truly blessed!

Bridle, turn me toward the narrow road

Ruddr help me steer my heavy load

Spark, you are the spark that starts a fire in me

Bridle, rudder, spark for my eternity!

Written in a motel on after a trip to visit Dallas seminary- a decision was made to move home for a year and make some money to attend- in retrospect, I probably should have just done it. I regret not flinging myself headlong onto grace at this point.A year later we moved to Dallas, none the richer.
