Like A Dove

O Holy Spirit
this child of God does pray,
'alight upon my aching heart
and comfort me today.'

And lo I find you're not a dove,
an energy, or flame,
but an awesome living person,
sent in Jesus' name.

Sent to walk beside me,
as I travel on this earth,
to guide me into righteousness,
since the day of my new birth.

Your very strength and power,
working from within,
help me to will and do God's pleasure,
and walk victorious over sin.

Please guide me now this moment,
to walk within this grace,
and turn my eyes from this dim world,
to gaze Jesus' face.
