Come, Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit
  Come & breathe new life into this weary soul.
  Carve new channels into my life
  That living water might course through them.

Come, Holy Spirit
  Come with wind & fire
  Consume all that is within me that is not of you
  Create in me a new landscape
  That I might frolic in the everlasting & abundant joy of God.

Come, Holy Spirit
  Shatter the ties that bind
  This confined life to the darkened dungeons of despair
  I have come to this place of my own accord
  Tied my own fetters and closed my own eyes
  Shine your illuminating light
  Show me the path home

Come, Holy Spirit
  Quicken the pulse in my chest
  Awaken me to the life of Christ within
  That leads me onward, upward, outward
  To dance with the divine
  To love without concern
  To live without regret

Come, Holy Spirit
  Gleefully abide
  Among the common and the frail
  The faith that peeks and hides

Come, Holy Spirit
  Illumine once again
  That I might hear the tale of God
  Mercifully sublime

Come, Holy Spirit
  Surprise my heart once more
  To live for God and let Christ reign
  To sing forevermore
