Fainting in the desert,
Israel’s thousands stand
At the rock of Kadesh.
Hark! the Lord’s command,
Speak to the Rock,
Bid the waters flow,
Strike not its bosom
Opened long ago.
Speak to the Rock,
Till the waters flow.

Speak to the Rock,
Bid the waters flow,
Doubt not the Spirit,
Given long ago;
Take what He waiteth,
Freely to bestow,
Drink till its fulness
All Thy being know.

Blessed Rock of Ages,
Thou art open still;
Thy blest Holy Spirit
All our being fill;
Still Thou dost say,
Wherefore struggle so?
Call for the Spirit,
Whisper soft and low,
Speak to the Rock
Bid the waters flow.
Thou art open still;
Thy blest Holy Spirit
All our being fill;
Still Thou dost say,
Wherefore struggle so?
Call for the Spirit,
Whisper soft and low,
Speak to the Rock
Bid the waters flow.

Oh, for trust more simple,
Fully to believe;
Oh, for hearts more childlike,
Freely to receive;
E’en as a babe,
On its mother’s breast,
So on Thy bosom
Let my spirit rest,
Filled with Thy life,
With Thy blessing blest.
Fully to believe;

Let my spirit rest,
Filled with Thy life,
With Thy blessing blest.

Let Him In! He stands at the door knocking, there is only one doorknob and its on YOUR side....
Receive the life giving Spirit into yours by calling, calling, calling, He answers the call by mingling, You will experience Oneness with Divinity and Joy without measure!

I found the best way to speak to the Rock is to call, O Lord Jesus! Jesus is the name, while the Spirit is the person of that name. When I call "Lord Jesus," I get the Spirit. Because He is a real and living person, even when I whisper soft and low, He comes as the Spirit all my being to fill.

Praise the Lord that He was smitten on the cross, and out flowed blood and water, blood for our redemption, and water to impart His divine life into us. Now we can experience this life giving flow, not by struggling, but as the hymn says
"Call for the Spirit, whisper soft and low, speak to the Rock, bid the waters flow"
He is the Rock. Amen.
