Hi people!

We've been looking at Pentecost recently, along with much of the rest of the church, I guess!

Here's a song which is a prayer to the Spirit of God.

Very rough recording at the mo, as you good people will no doubt come up with some excellent suggestions to change it before I get too far. We used it in church a couple of weeks ago in the evening, and the following Sunday morning, both of which went OK, and at least it seemed "singable".

Lyrics:

Bm__________Em
Breath of God, breathe on me
Asus__ A______D_____F#
Fill my heart, until you see
Bm________Em
All You love, all You do
Asus____ A_____D F#
Become my passion too

Bm_________Em
Light Divine, shine in me
Asus A_D____F#
Purify all you see
Bm__________ Em
Light my path, guide my way
Asus___A_______D F#
Let me shine for You

CHORUS
Bm________Em
Spirit of the living God,
_____Asus A______D ___ F#
Come fall upon me now.
Bm_________ Em
Bend my will, mould my ways
Asus____A____D F#
‘Til I’m Yours alone

Bm_________Em
Hand of God, take my hand
Asus______A__ D_______F#
Strengthen me, help me stand
Bm_________Em
Send me out, in Your power
Asus____A___ D F#
Showing Jesus love

CHORUS

God bless

Thanks Mr Hatch. We've been using the song for a few weeks at church now, after a series of sermons on the Holy Spirit, as a kind of response song. The congregation seemed to pick the tune up very quickly - always encouraging!
Ta lots for your encouragement too.

God bless

Hey Rog,
that's a very relevant prayer and I can defn see your heart in this. I was wondering whether the second lines would work better in the first person eg. fill my heart until I see and purify all I see. I think because you use me in the lines before it flows a bit better. Also, what about increasing the tempo? I think that if it was a band playing it would be difficult to play/sing without the song dragging. These are just my thoughts but continue working on it. I really think the words are very strong.

God bless, Eli

Hi Elikem.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, we do tend to do it a bit faster when using it at church. It is supposed to be quite slow and reflective, but the recording was just a touch too far!

God bless.
