Waiting For the Holy Spirit
Waiting for the Holy Spirit
As we stand amongst the pews
Waiting for the basket to go ‘round
Hearing the hymns from the choir
Smelling the incense that burns so sweetly
His Holy Spirit is coming.
As we stand amongst the parishioners
Waiting to receive the body of Christ
Feeling the breath of the person behind you
Whispering prayer on the back of your neck
Seeing the altar servers standing at attention
His Holy Spirit is coming.
As we kneel in the pews for prayer
Waiting for the ministry to complete its chore
Hearing the infant cry
Seeing the mouths move in silent prayer
Smelling the wood of the pew
Feeling your knees adjust
We all wait for the Holy Spirit.
His Holy Spirit has arrived.
