Paracletus

Holy Spirit speak. Have your way in me.

Holy Spirit move. Only you can clear my tomb.

Holy Spirit come. Rain in glory down on us.

Holy Spirit breathe. Fill us up O' Mighty King.

Affirm your power in our midst, God;

We long for righteous retribution against all enemy affliction.

Your grace is sufficient;

Warfare vanishes in victory as you firmly grasp hell's keys.

Nothing less than riches of peace may dwell among your holy nation.

The chosen ones are finally free, our feet standing at last in your gates.

All that prevails is the sanctity of grace;

The love of a Father, the faithfulness of a Friend.

Our mouths move in honor of Heavenly words being brought down to earth;

Our knees caress the floor as you bring us into the restful place.

Our voices shout in awe and wonder of your sovereign works;

Our hands brace the sky in adoration cries of glory.

Our feet follow your gentle whisper, "come;"

Our eyes testify to the miraculous signs that guarantee your ascension to the throne.

If nothing is impossible, why can't we operate in assurance?

If you can do all things, why are we trapped in oppression?

Teach your babies how to fix our gaze upon you.

Lead your infants as they crawl ever forward toward the light.

Support the steps of your toddlers as they learn to walk in fullness.

Remind us daily that children of faith are your inheritors;

The ones upon whom you place your hands of blessing.

You never leave us as we were;

Never deceive us with empty promises;

Always weave us into the fabric of a freshly pressed family.

Our suffering produce gladness;

Our weaknesses boldness;

Our thorns faithfulness,

From the Dad who seeks to build up warrior Kingdom kids.
