Holy Spirit Come

 

O Holy Spirit come and do a mighty work in me

Convict my heart of all its sins and help me lean on Thee!

Help me walk according to Your blessed Holy Word

In fellowship with You each day, obedi'ent to what I've heard

Help me carry Your Sword of Truth and bear Your precious fruit

Protected from the Devil's darts by Your righteous armor-suit

 

But precious Spirit please don't stop Your cleansing work with me

Please do an even greater work as far as eye can see

The fields are white and oh so ripe, I long to see them saved

We need Your rushing mighty wind, Your Word on hearts engraved.

My heart cries out to see You work - nought else will satisfy

I want to see Your pow'rful hand - I must or else I die!

To see You come in pow'r and might to do what I cannot

This is my pray'r - that all must say, "Look what God hath wrought!"

 

The world with all its ploys and toys has many in its snare

Please Spirit of the Living God reveal to them Your care.

Your love is perfect, judgment right, and mercy always new

Now please, I pray, my Comforter, come do what I can't do

Please work in hearts and minds and lives of sinners everywhere

Convict them of their sins as well - those sins that Christ did bear.

I need Your working in my life to change and help me grow

But countless others need Your work as You already know,

So please come down and do Your work of cleansing here with me

And then in pow'r cleanse all around, Spirit, this is my plea.
