stir in me Holy One
a fresh desire for you,
a longing for your ways,
a passion born
of love's deepest longings
+
set a fire within my heart
and consume me,
burn up the dross,
cleanse and heal me
lead me on the path of
holiness and wholeness,
help to to lean on your strength
to know that I need not,
cannot walk this way alone
+
stir in me Holy One
a fresh desire for you,
a longing for your ways,
and in this place
where light meets the dark
where beauty
takes the place
of ashes
and joy breaks
into the deepest despair,
stir in me
your promise anew
+
stir in me Holy One
a fresh desire for you,
a longing for your ways...
