Story behind the song
This is part of a cycle of hymns I'm writing for the season of Pentecost. I started with a song of repentance and petition, because I always need to repent and petition God for help. It's in 76.76.666 meter with an unmetered chorus.
Lyrics
_________________G
Proceeding from the Father,
___G/B___________D
Proceeding from the Son,
____________________G
Like wind that rocks the water:
___G/B______D
Oh Holy Spirit, come.
__________________C
Sweep over this dead sea,
_________________D
Drown our complacency,
____________G
Oh Holy Spirit, come.
__________________C
We worshipped with abandon
______C/E__________D
When first we felt Your love.
______________________G
Now, years have stilled our passion.
_______D____C
Oh Holy Spirit, come.
_____________Am
Stir up a mighty wave;
_________________D
Anoint our hearts to praise;
____________G
Oh Holy Spirit, come.
___C___D_____G__C___Em__D
Oh Holy Spirit -- Oh Holy One.
G__C___D____C___D___G
Oh Holy Spirit -- Oh Spirit, come.
We've lost our heart's desire;
We're cold as ice and stone.
Now, Animating Fire:
Oh, Holy Spirit, come.
Set all our hearts ablaze
To testify of grace;
Oh Holy Spirit, come.
We've faded and we're tired;
The battle has been long.
Refresh, revive, inspire;
Oh Holy Spirit, come.
Stoke up the flame in us:
A beacon for the lost;
Oh Holy Spirit, come.
