Calling the Spirit

in our worship, in our daily lives
calling the Spirit, to awaken,
to pass over the waters
to alight on us, to change us
grow within us, strengthen us
embolden us, like the Christ,
coming out of the Jordan transformed,
like the disciples, made shepherds
on the Pentecost morn’,
like the Gentiles, out beyond Israel
speaking in tongues, with power
Forever calling the Spirit
to guide our steps
