Holy Spirit, living breath of God
Breathe new life into my willing soul
Bring the presence of the risen Lord
To renew my heart and make me whole
Cause Your Word to come alive in me
Give me faith for what I cannot see
Give me passion for Your purity
Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me
♪
Holy Spirit, come abide within
May Your joy be seen in all I do
Love enough to cover every sin
In each thought and deed and attitude
Kindness to the greatest and the least
Gentleness that sows the path of peace
Turn my strivings into works of grace
Breath of God, show Christ in all I do
♪
Holy Spirit, from creation's birth
Giving life to all that God has made
Show Your power once again on earth
Cause Your church to hunger for your ways
Let the fragrance of our prayers arise
Lead us on the road of sacrifice
That in unity the face of Christ
Will be clear for all the world to see
Can we use this prayers of Patrick
As we come to this conference?
Christ be with me, Christ within me
Christ behind me and Christ before me
Christ beside me and Christ to win me
Christ to comfort and restore me
Christ beneath me and Christ above me
Christ in quiet and Christ in danger
Christ in hearts of all that love me
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger
I bind unto myself the Name
The strong Name of the Trinity
By the invocation of the same
The Three in One and One in Three
Of whom all nature hath creation
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word
Praise to the Lord of my salvation
Salvation is of Christ, the Lord
Amen
