the gift of the Holy Spirit – v3

Water poured down from heaven
quenching our dry flesh
God remaining, coming,
entering in with us
our dry bones alive
the gift of the Holy Spirit
washing upon us
the fire, the flame,
the Spirit within us
joining with the water
the breath of God
infusing us with power
to live, to rise again
the Spirit here with us
guiding us in love
