BAPTIZE OUR HEARTS WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT FIRE
Our Lord and our God, we find it so hard for us to comprehend,
How the Lord of heaven and earth could love us like you do?
Yet you love us without measure, a love that will never end,
The desire of your heart is to have us really love you too.
You long for us to know real intimacy with you,
And deep down in our hearts we just long for that too,
Keep our eyes focused on you Lord and teach us your wisdom,
That we in turn might play our part in heralding in your Kingdom.
For yours is the Kingdom, the power and the glory,
Who is like you our dear Lord and Saviour, Creator of all?
Holy Spirit come and fill us up afresh, dont let us fall.
For we need your help to boldly proclaim the gospel story.
So Lord we give you permission to do a work in us deep within,
Rid us of all that is of the flesh, come and free us from sin,
For it can never be us at the centre, help us all from self to die,
For it is you Lord Jesus who sets people free, for this cause you died.
Yet praise be to God the story didnt end there, We serve a risen Saviour,
You are the risen glorified one, the beginning and the end,
You are our redeemer, our beloved, our King and our friend,
And we with the angels will cry Holy, Holy, Holy to my Saviour.
Baptize our hearts with your Holy Spirit fire once again,
Help us to be a witness for you in this world of men,
We want to drink deep from the wells of living water,
That out of our bellies may flow rivers of living water.
