HOLY SPIRIT

Oh Spirit of love
sweet piercing flame,
sent for God’s people
to all hearts to bring change.

You give sight to the blind
with new eyes do they see,
to the deaf You bring hearing
and pure love’s melody.

Hearts once like cold granite
burn tender and warm,
souls darkened by evil
in grief they do mourn.

For Your flame brings desire
from all sin to be free,
to live in Your joy
in sweet harmony.

Accepting and trusting
that what comes our way,
is meant to bring us all closer
to the Light and the Way.

Melt us sweet Spirit
with Your gifts ever fill,
mold us and use us
to live ever His Will.
