Holy Ghost Treasure

There are no greater riches on earth than Holy Ghost Treasure;
     It cannot be calculated in terms of human carnal pleasure.
Neither is material substance proof of its presence;
     Rather, a quickened spirit and glowing heart reveal its essence.

Many times its approach is accompanied by anxious pain;
     Carnal dross must be burned from our heart to receive the gain.
A brief moment of insecurity and transitional stress
     Precedes the sweet Holy Dove, under whose wings we are blessed.


A glorious and Divine exchange has then been made
     As our earthly coffers have been filled by the Heavenly Trade.
Solomon’s wealth could not boast of any greater amount
     Than the sum of a Holy Ghost deposit to our account.

Composed by Jim Newnam
Psalm 51:7
“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”

The six-pointed Star of David is the symbol of the hyssop blossom. I have adopted the
Star of David as an emblem of God’s Goodness, and salvation.
