Holy Spirit lay Your Hands on me
HOLY Spirit of God lay hands on me, and like Living Water
Pour out continually your loving grace and power;
Suffused with your radiant Glory, earthly things dim.
My mind becomes illumined with light,
In faith, I sense your Living Presence;
My heart bursts forth with ecstatic delight,
Singing songs of praise and love for my Lord.
A sweet calmness prevails; I rejoice in your nearness
And in my dearness;
All weariness flee as I take a little rest
In the loving arms of my God, I’m blessed.
Holy Spirit, ignite your fire in my soul
Cleanse, pardon, make me whole;
Through your baptism, fortify and empower
Your fruits to bear and to others, minister;
In knowledge, the truth of salvation to impart
That only through Christ’s compassionate heart
And His Resurrection power, there is
Enduring hope of life eternal.
