Come Blessed Holy Spirit, Breathe Afresh on Me Living God and Live Through Me Mightily Unto Eternity
Wonderful Holy Spirit, blessed Holy Spirit of the living God
You are my life, you are my love, you are my God above!
Breathe afresh upon me, make my life what it ought to be
Burn away the sin, flesh, rebellion, and stubbornness in me
Take my life to the heights of heaven so I can dwell with Thee
Give me a delightful and sustaining taste of inescapable eternity
Lift my head high above the pain of the past so I might fully be
All that you created me to fulfill throughout my life and destiny
As you come gracious Holy Spirit and patiently work mightily in me
I shall be transformed continually and arise to give you great glory
Take this little boy, make him an honorable man, rewrite his life story.
Christ in me is the most precious hope of my soul and magnificent glory
In my own presence I find no satisfaction, motivation, or internal peace
I therefore pray dear sweet Jesus, my Prince of peace, for divine release
My tensions come and quiet, my burdens bear, my worries swiftly ease
This I humbly ask of you with tenderness as I beseech you earnestly please
Deny me no longer, arise even stronger, and come dwell with me longer
I cannot live without the living God, the Spirit Christ called the Comforter
Blessed, gentle, tender, long suffering, mighty, wise, loving, and my Friend
With the Holy Spirit I am never comfortless, as divine life in Him has no end
For such a divine Person within the Trinity I open my heart and refuse to depart
Here I am blessed Holy Spirit, make of my life a remarkably divine work of art.
