Send Your Spirit

Father, we gather in joy today,
Praising the victory Christ has made
And awaiting the One which You said You’d send:
A Spirit to dwell among men.
We anticipate gladly Your promised One
To continue the work started by Your Son.
Spirit to guide how we live each day,
And a Spirit to teach us to pray.
Send Your Spirit, Lord, as we sing Your praises joyfully.
Sweep across the earth, make known to every land Your majesty.
Come fill our minds, unbind our hearts, ignite a fire that burns eternally.
Send Your Spirit, Lord, dwell among us, and set us free.
Change us and mold us to do Your will.
Live in us, breathe in us, speak through us,
Fill us with courage to tell of Your joyful news,
Make us instruments of Your truth. (Refrain)
Love without measure, hope that conquers fear,
Where there’s compassion, You are near.
Where there is darkness, You are our light.
Within us a fire that burns as we conquer the night.
End our night.
Send Your Spirit, Lord, as we sing Your praises joyfully.
Sweep across the earth, make known to every land Your majesty.
Come fill our minds, unbind our hearts, ignite a fire that burns eternally.
Send Your Spirit, Lord, dwell among us!
Send Your Spirit, Lord, dwell among us!
Send Your Spirit, Lord, dwell within us, and set us free!
