Saturated Believing – v9

Our bodies, our lives, soaked, filled,
dripping wet, drenched, overflowing,
like cloth prayer dolls, worn, tattered,
passed down through generations;
Immersed in the living waters
the promise of Your holy Word…
 
Living sacrifices, vessels, bodies,
each week, coming before You
entering into reverence, awe,
given in worship, to be filled;
Given for Your pleasure
for Your holy purpose…

Saturated believing, on fire,
filled with Pentecost flames,
not lukewarm in our coming,
In our sitting at Your feet;
We long to be filled by You Lord,
wet, drenched to overflowing…

like taffeta of frost – v4

Like taffeta of frost
fabric of light
brocade of sheer fibers
cool mist descending;
presence falling, bright
weightless cloak
the Spirit’s calling to You.

For the Holy Spirit
Your love, Your essence
to bodily come down
to fall down upon us
offering us blessing;
Oh Spirit, descending,
fall down on me.

Fill this simple space, my heart
this place made sacred
set apart from the world;
holy fire fall quickly (urgently)
come down upon me;
Let me feel Your presence;
Spirit alight upon me.

Our bodies, soaked, filled,
dripping wet, drenched,

Immersed in the living waters

given in worship;
Given for Your pleasure

The mantle descending – v4

A mantle descending,
but was this the Holy Spirit,
a living fabric falling
called to this place
to descend upon us.

A mantle falling,
a garment, a presence,
cool, light, upon us
falling down upon us
through the ceiling above.

Living sacrifices

tear me apart – v3

my flesh from my spirit
my sinew from bone
split me wide open;
Lord, tear me apart,
exposed to You alone

let me be ready
emptied of my self
the old cast away;
make me ready to share,
to witness, to pour out in love

open to your blessing
the Spirit indwelling
fill me, fill me. . .
take me over;
Lord, tear me apart
