The spirit of man is the lamp of Jehovah

Proverbs 20:27 and footnote 272 (Recovery Version)



Chorus:

G D Am7-C-D-G

The spirit of man is the lamp of Jehovah

D Am7 C - D

Searching all the innermost parts of the inner being



G D Am7

1. Man's spirit is God's lamp within man.

C D G D

The light shining within man's regenerated spirit

Am7 - C - D

Is God Himself.

G D Am7 C - D

Just as a lamp contains light and expresses it,

G D Am7 C D G

Man's spirit was created to contain God and express Him.



(Chorus)



G D Am7

2. In order for the divine light to shine

C D G

Into man’s inward parts,

D Am7

God’s Spirit as the oil must soak and mingle

C D G D

With man’s spirit as the wick

Am7 G D G-D

And “burn” together with man’s spirit -

Am7-C-D-G

Our mingled spirit!



(Chorus)
