DEAR SPIRIT OF GOD

Thou almighty Breath of God
That generates new life
Come exhale on me
That I might be quickened once more
 
Thou oil poured out fully on the Anointed One
Anoint my lips and renew my heart
And let joy flow forth
From this heart of mine, now lubricated
 
Let my lips tell incessantly of your goodness
And my tongue be wrapped in exalting words
Let my voice construct bridges of melodies
Linking my distant heart to Yours
 
Thou River of Living water
Flow torrentially from within
Quench every thirst for you
And drown me in the depths of Your love
 
Thou Seal of my salvation
Be as a stamp on my Letter
As I bear the mark of Christ
A new specie that never once existed
 
Thou Rod and Staff
Keep me within the fence of Your pen
That the voice of the Good Shepherd
Woos me daily and becomes a hedge around me
 
Thou cloven Tongue of fire
Light up and rest on me
Ignite in me a passion for Your word and purity
And radiate as a light for the world to see
 
Burn fierily and thoroughly
My repulsive deeds and degenerate thoughts
And consume tenaciously all about me
That I like wild fire will spread the gospel of Christ
 
Thou Holy Spirit of the Most High God
Not a second-runner up
But the third person of the Godhead and divine Trinity
You are worthy of my worship
 
Comfort and advise me, correct and reprove me,
Direct and instruct, love and ignite me
Construct and establish, prepare and preserve
Till that glorious day of my saviour’s return
