Analysis of Moaning Glory
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
The Spirit helps during weakness,
For we do not know how to pray;
As the Spirit times of bleakness,
Intercedes when moaning away.
Groaning that is too deep to speak,
That is uttered under the breath;
When a solution that we seek,
That is trying to avoid death.
He who searches within the heart,
Will know the mind of the Spirit;
That the will of God allows to start,
For assisting in your merit.
We know that for those who love God,
All things work together for good;
As the Spirit cleanses where flawed,
Upon confessing as we should.
For all those whom He has foreknown,
Predestined in being conformed;
To the image of Christ has grown,
As brothers and sisters transformed.
Those He predestined have been called,
As with those called He justified;
His Spirit cleanses places flawed,
To justify and glorified.
