Prayer: Spirit of God Come Upon Me

Spirit of God

Come upon me

Breath of God

Anoint me for good news

That I may join with you 

In my poverty 

As you

Bless the poor

Free the prisoners

Make blind eyes see

Release the burdens of the oppressed

And manifest the jubilee of your kingdom

I can only go where you lead me

Your humble vessel

Filled with your love

Only sustained by you

With Great Delight, Holy Spirit

With Great Delight

Before I say come, you are already there

But you welcome my invitation

With great anticipation, you flow into me

Into your dwelling place, wonderfully made

The home you designed when you knit me together

When you formed me in my mother’s womb

With great delight, you race through my body

Muscle by muscle, cell by cell

Flutter through heart, sparkle eyes

Captivate  ears, filling to fullness

Dancing pinwheels of delight in my soul

Holy fire, igniting love

Blazing embers, dancing flames

Holding  hardened places close with gentle comfort

Flow living water, becoming desert streams

Hope springing up, fresh new shoots, rising in my soul

Holy Spirit you find such delight

rejoicing, celebrating, leaping for joy within me

Yes, Spirit

I will join you in this celebration
