OH LORD

Oh Lord, I need the closeness of Your Holy Spirit right now

For a splurge of this, I'll kindly on my knees bow

I need a renewing, refreshing, restart!

For a couple of weeks, I have not been able

to concentrate as I should

Because maybe of the surgery and recovering

Now, I'm reaching out again to You with all I have

Waiting and wanting You to live in me again

My heart feels drained without Your nearness

Pour out the blood of your pierced hands

and cover me with it

Oh Lord, fill me to the top

Let no one or nothing stop this relationship

Nor even try to hinder it

My needs are for You to take over my life anew

I willingly give my all to you

I need direction, strength and need to

know the roads to take and the ones to avoid

Like a baby starting to walk, I'll follow your steps

Lord, there is an emptiness in my heart, soul and mind

One of needing you, no other kind

Let all bitterness and fears be gone

Give me a new day and a new song

Take my doubts away so I can freely accept You

Not doubting You Lord, but myself

which is wrong and I should forget self....

When I do, you will take me on into other walks

and furnish me with all provisions and needs

You will fill me and there'll be no room or

no chance that I'd not give it all to you

I would dance....dance....dance

Lord I plead with You. Bring words back to my memory

Bring the thoughts back to my mind

The words you give me are my ministering to others

Hoping to reach a soul in need

Thank You for all

Forgive me over and over and

Bring on the Rain of Your Holy Spirit
