Holy Spirit Please Come In
Holy Spirit, I ask you to be
my "invited guest."
Lately, my life's been "quite a mess."
I ask you to take complete
possession and control.
The garbage in my life...
simply must go!
The many night I have cried myself to sleep.
I now feel like I'm in a pit-
ever so deep!
Only you can bring peace to
my desperate situation.
I extend to you a heartfelt invitation!
As you renew my mind...my thoughts
and words spoken.
May my life be tender, yielded
and broken.
I will then enjoy life the way
God intended it to be.
For I need much more of you,
and a lot less of me!
Thank you for the work in my
life you're anxious to do.
I really have begun
to appreciate YOU!
Holy Spirit... you're so forgiving,
loving and kind.
You have been there for me
each and every time.
As I eat of God's word-
my daily bread.
Please mold me and use me
in the days ahead!
