The Holy Spirit in the soft caresses
Of the breeze, the breeze like a mother's soaring wings
Wings bearing love
Wings extending mercy
Wings offering unconditional acceptance
The Lord's kisses are warm like the sun
His embraces as sweet as the flowers of spring
O'Lord, bring me out of this winter
So I may feel your spring,
Bask in your redeeming love
Lord, I ask you to guide me to your waters
Let me drink of your fountain
The fountain of grace
You are faithful to your servants, O'Lord
You will bring me out of this frost
This desolate place will not me my end
This dessert will not witness my final days
You will bring your spring
Grass will shoot up anew
Green as your promises
Waiting is only manageable in your endurance
Grant this endurance to me
So that I, your humble servant, may see the light you will bring forth in season
And eat of the fruit you will spring forth
Anew out of the dust of the ground
Out of the ashes of my crumbling life
My burning ships
My falling towers
You will build these things anew, O'Lord
You will restore to me twofold all you took away
For you O'Lord are a God who gives and takes away
O'Lord you are a God of compassion
And on me bestow this
I ask in my waiting your protection
Strike down my enemies in their destructive attempts
Disarm the starting voices
Lead them not to my ear
So I may not be led astray
Hush the voices of the lies
Close my eyes to evil deeds
Shush my mouth to keep me from shame
Lead me to wisdom
Grant me grace in my hypocrisy
Give me peace in my anxiety
And let your love shine through me as evidence of my faith
I ask these things in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and forevermore shall be, world without end. Amen.
