WIND OF GOD

WIND OF GOD

   

Contrary to popular belief

to keep on sinning brings no relief

from the guilt and shame I possess,

from the transgressions in my life I refuse to confess.

Reveal to me, O Lord I humbly now pray,

those iniquities I cling to that have led me astray.

Wind of God revive me with Your fresh air;

Breath of Life flow o'er me for I know You are there.

Why should I die? Can I avoid this certain death 

that would eternally separate me into the lowest depth?

Compromise, disobedience, even dishonesty had,

for a season, overshadowed me.

But, Holy God, I choose to repent of it all, 

and, now on Your name I sincerely call.

Wind of God revive me with Your fresh air;

Breath of Life flow o'er me

for I know You are there.

Empty me of all that to You has been an offense.

Display in me the works worthy of my repentance.

Refreshing Spirit, energize me with a new vibrant walk,

with a new way of thinking, a new way to talk.

I surrender to You Lord, for only in You can I find

this new heart, this new spirit, this brand new mind.

Wind of God revive me with Your fresh air; Breath of Life flow o'er me for I know You are there.
