Send us Your Spirit
David Haas · With You By My Side 2 [2002]
1. Come to us, Spirit of God. Breathe in us now. We sing together.
Spirit of hope and of light, fill our lives.
Come to us, Spirit of God.
2. Fill us with the fire of love. Burn in us now. Bring us together.
Come to us; dwell in us. Change our lives, oh Lord. Come to us, Spirit of God.
3. Send us the wings of new birth.
Fill all the earth with the love you have taught us.
Let all creation now be shaken with love. Come to us, Spirit of God.
