Lyrics
Now there is within each man the spirit of th’Almighty God. And His inspiration giveth man true understanding. For the spirit of our God, ’tis the Spirit that hath made me, and the breath of
the Almighty hath given life to me. Man born of a woman hath few days, and those with trouble filled. If there be a messenger, one among a thousand, let him show to man his uprightness,
show him man’s true righteousness. Then will he deliver him, bringing back his soul from darkness, and his life, his life shall see the light.
