Gracious God
We thank you this
morning for your Holy Spirit
The Wild untameable
spirit that James K Baxter says
Is like "the wind
that blows through a thousand paddocks
Both Inside and
outside the fences."
The very breath of
God
Breath on us today we pray
Eternal God
We thank you for
your Spirit’s presence and work in the past
Active in creation,
brooding over the waters
Speaking and
guiding the people of Israel
Anointing and
empowering Jesus mission and ministry
Poured out on all
who believe to enable us to live and witness
Move a fresh in us today
God with us
Thank you that by
your spirit, Christ dwells within us
Thank you that we
are one people filled by the same spirit
Thank you that you
lead and guide us
That you reveal the
scriptures and lead us into all truth
That you enable us to witness to the hope
we have in Jesus.
Fill us today we
pray
Loving God
By your spirit make
us more like Christ
Fill us with your
presence
Gift us for the
common good
As we dwell with
you ripen the spirits fruit in us
May we be made
holy, wholly yours
Kindle the Spirits fire with us Lord
Head of the Church
Renew our passion for,
and the compassion of, Christ
help us to love one
another as you have loved us
Unsettle us and
draw us out on the Spirit wind
To work and witness
and love where you call
To find where your
Spirit is at work and join on in
Send us out once more, O God
Living God
Make us like the
cabbage tree in our car park
At the slightest
breath of wind it moves and dances
It becomes alive
and animated
May we be as
sensitive to your Spirit’s breath
Moving in praise
and love and care for the whole of creation
Move a fresh in us
O Lord
