Holy Father, I implore you
Don’t take your Holy Spirit from me
Let me know you,
Let me see you,
Let me be near you…
O Holy God
Take this longing, I am giving
Wrap me in your arms again…
Holy Father, blessed Jesus,
Let me feel your love begin…
When I fall, don’t let me stay down
When I cry, lift me up…
Cast these burdens…that I carry
From this broken, dirty cup,
As far as the East is from the West,
Holy Father, I surrender
Help me pass this test…
Let your grace pour over me…
Your presence, Lord, is all I need
Without your presence I am wasted…
Like a desert I’m parched and dry…
Without your living-water to sustain me,
Precious Savior, I’d surely die…
Without your presence, I cannot survive…
Blackest, darkness tries to grab me…
But it can’t have me…for my life is hid in thee
Holy Spirit, send your fire; dust to ashes;
Create in me, a new spirit, with a new heart,
Draw me closer to your side…
There, blood and water, poured out to save me
Your presence gives me…
New life!
