1. Exercise the spirit,
  Pray in every way!
  I have prayed too little,
  Keen my spirit, nay.
  Even when I prayed, my
  Spirit seldom proved
  Even just to follow
  As Thy Spirit moved.
2. Now I'd pray in spirit
  As Thy Spirit groans;
  Pray by the anointing,
  Not as memory owns.
  Not the mind applying,
  But with spirit pray,
  Praising or beseeching,
  Spirit��led always.
3. Not just by myself my
  Spirit exercise,
  But with others praying
  I would do likewise;
  Praying in the spirit,
  As the spirit wants,
  For 'tis in the inmost
  Spirits have response.
4. When we serve together,
  We thru prayer would move,
  Fellowship in spirit,
  Not in word to prove.
  Never pray together,
  Shouting, crying much,
  Yet the fellowship in
  Spirit never touch.
5. Exercise the spirit
  Here and everywhere,
  Few or many present,
  Caring not who's there.
  Not a place or person
  Will influence me,
  In all kinds of meetings
  I'll my spirit free.
6. Thus my spirit lifted
  Gives the Lord His way;
  Thus, my spirit strengthened,
  I'll be used each day.
  In the spirit's flowing
  Living water see;
  Thus the saints are mingled,
  Built the church will be.
