    • Holy Spirit Psalm
      Rush upon us, O Spirit of God!
       
      From this time on, rush upon us
      like living water,
      like leaping fire,
      like fresh breath through an open window!
       
      For this time, rush upon us, O Holy Spirit,
      with wisdom and knowledge,
      with understanding and counsel, with
       wonder and recognition and awe!
       
      Just in time, rush upon us, O Spirit of God,
      in life-giving words,
      in songs from the voiceless,
      in a passion for witness!
       
      At this time, rush upon us, O Holy Spirit,
      this hopeful time,
      this searching time,
      this preparing time,
      this coming 
      and going time,
      this trusting time,
      this new time,
      this full time!
       
      All the time, rush upon us, O Spirit of God!
