Come Holy Spirit

A Christian prayer poem inspired by the Psalms

Come Holy Spirit

Come back to my heart

You renew my soul, make it strong

You are in me, I can't do wrong

I shall praise you with a song

And those before mute

now join me, you help them sing

Wake the harp, take the flute!

Hallelujah! Lord is forgiving!

Come Holy Spirit

Come to purify my mind

I've been bad, make me kind

Scold me, my Heavenly Dad

Give me patience Jesus had

Help me respect my gentle mother

May my mouth bless, not curse and bother

Oh Holy Spirit, be my wisdom

I dream home of heavenly kingdom

Come Holy Spirit

Come to secular kings

And take away their misgiving

Make them bow you, not mammon untrue

Make them vow you they follow your law

But they're astray, injustice I saw

Lord your people pray, every night and day

Spirit of love, take our pain away

Be with the poor and open heaven's door

Come Holy Spirit

Teach us righteous love

Remind what passion means

Blood of Christ, keep my being clean

Love is generous, I'm here to give it

That makes angels sing in heaven above

God's mercy on earth is coming

Hallelujah! Love never gets bitter

Hallelujah! Rejoice, play the zither
