DEDICATION

This, the third series of Spirit-Filled Life Bible Study Guides, is dedicated to the memory of

Dr. Roy H. Hicks, Jr.
(1944–1994)

one of God’s “men for all seasons,”

faithful in the Word, mighty in the Spirit,

leading multitudes into the love of God

and the worship of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Unto Christ’s glory and in Roy’s memory,

we will continue to sing:

Praise the Name of Jesus,

Praise the Name of Jesus,

He’s my Rock, He’s my Fortress,

He’s my Deliverer, in Him will I trust.

Praise the Name of Jesus.
