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.
