the elusive Spirit

Come, fall upon me

Spirit, Holy Spirit,

elusive member

of the Trinity

not the Son, Jesus,

man, fully human,

not the Father, seated on His throne

Creator of heaven and earth

Come, Holy Spirit

rest ever upon me;

whisper your call to me

guide my earthen feet.

surely naked

After eating of the forbidden fruit

Adam was surely naked

exposed for the clay that he was;

the presence of God departed

no longer in communion

with the Creator of heaven and earth.

After the curse of wisdom

seeing his station clearly,

the divide between himself and God;

oh yes, he was surely naked.

we fail to pray

we fail to pray

too busy to seek God

we assume God is too busy

for our lives, our problems

the God of the universe

of all of creation;

but God calls us to Him

to pray without ceasing

to bring everything

to our God, even

for our daily bread,

you have done evil – v2

you have done evil

to loved ones;

you have spoken lies

to pierce their hearts

you have mocked them

hurling scripture;

you have spoken lies

within the gate

I will remember

your choice to do evil;

I will not turn my back

to suffer again

I will remember

what you have done to them;

your choice to hurt

your own flesh and blood.
