Greetings LoveMusic! listeners. Back again after a few months on the road, on the job, on with life…
Today’s song I hadn’t heard until a year ago. I actually posted this originally exactly a year ago too, on 10.28.17. GHOST by MercyMe is quite timely, being many will soon celebrate a holiday filled with witchcraft, while at the same disguised as just fun and games. It isn’t that at all. Many Christians have been deceived for many decades in regards to this.
My good wife Laurie and I were watching the recorded DOVE Awards in 2017 on the TBN TV channel, and MercyMe won Artist of the Year. I have liked their music and love for the Lord for a while, and have several of their CDs. They have been around 20 years. That I didn’t know.
Earlier in the show, aired from Nashville, they sang their new song “Even If“. I had never heard that one either, but I loved it! So I bought the MP3 to have the song on my playlist, but also to support them, as I often do with Christian artists. (If we want good ministry, we have to support them and others! Like Love For His People too, which I hope you will.)
As I listened back then to the downloaded album in the morning (at 3:00 am EDT), the last song was GHOST. My spirit rose inside of me. My heart got a little lighter. I hit the repeat button over and over again.
There’s a ghost There’s a ghost inside of me Not like those drips in old bed sheets Saying “trick or treat” Different Oh, this ghost is different Not one that leaves me scared to death But one that puts my fear to rest
Oh, holiness keep haunting me Oh, you’re my hope, you’re my peace Ironic in a way I’m no longer afraid And the ghost is to blame
There’s a ghost There’s a ghost inside of me Not something from some campfire story Where I’m terrified to sleep Opposite This ghost is quite the opposite He came just like a welcomed friend And I was comforted
Oh, holiness keep haunting me Oh, you’re my hope, you’re my peace Ironic in a way I’m no longer afraid And the ghost is to blame
I’m not afraid I’m not afraid No longer afraid
Lead me through the darkness Lead me through the unknown Oh, lead me holy ghost Lead me through the darkness Lead me through the unknown Oh, lead me holy ghost Lead me through the darkness Lead me through the unknown Oh, lead me holy ghost Lead me through the darkness Lead me through the unknown Oh, lead me holy ghost

This song is from MercyMe’s new “Lifer” album. John 3:8 New English Translation (NET Bible) 8 The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
