Kindle My Spirit – v4

Spirit of God
light in me, ignite,
a brushfire of words
the bloom of Your love;
Shouting from the heavens
of Your glory, Your prayer,
Your hope for mankind
that we would turn to You

Fire in me, spark,
ignite my heart to singing
sharing your grace with all
an endless measure;
Your steadfast guiding
an overflowing
water, living presence,
of Christ, of the Spirit
living within us
teaching us more
that we may serve

Kindle my spirit
to stop my trembling
my doubts washed away
serving with a joyful heart;
Boundless grace
washing down,
pouring into me;
let me be empty
that I may be filled
