But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. John 14:26, NKJV
I really love this song. The woman who wrote it, Clara H. Scott, had to have had a close relationship with the Lord. Was she thinking about Jesus's promise that the Holy Spirit would teach us about God? I don't know, but she was definitely onto something.
I remember when I first started reading the Bible daily. (Don't laugh--it ain't easy to remember 40-some years back.) I was reading the King James Version because that's what I had, and it felt like I was reading through a dark fog. Nothing really made sense.
It wasn't long until I was baptized in the Spirit, and it was as though someone turned the light on. Quite suddenly, I was reading and understand. So, at least for me, the Holy Spirit made the difference.
I hope these verses will turn the light on for you:
Open my mind, that I may read
More of Thy love in word and deed;
What shall I fear while yet Thou dost lead?
Only for light from Thee I plead.
Refrain 3:
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready my God, Thy will to see,
Open my mind, illumine me,
Spirit divine!
