Tall pines are swaying
In the last winter breeze
Hope here arising
Sunrise through the trees
The victims of winter
Consumed by the earth
Fruit of surrender
To nourish rebirth
Layers of colors
Casts our view above
Deeper of dwelling
A vision of love
Light is regifted
Holly leaves shine
An inner meaning
Blesses this soul of mine
A pause in the journey
To ponder and pray
Signs of the Spirit
To help guide our way
So blessed within prayer
When the soul does feel it
The gift of beyond
The call of the Spirit
Strong is the drawing
Of offer unto
With simple surrender
The Spirit moves you
Into our place
Of emptiness found
In filling out void
The Spirit abounds
Of solid foundation
Within loves embrace
Peace overflowing
Adrift within grace
Here is found home
Of heaven, conceive
In life of the living
Let us never leave
Onto this earth
Our life is bound
Our journey goes
Both up and down
Our view ahead
Horizon, see
Days of clouds
And clear skies, be
The blessed one
Of soul aware
With vision cast
Of offered prayer
Who dwells, above
With this insight
The faith within
Spirit and light
In this moment still
Through a choice of our will
Divinity’s treasure we find
Or rather it be
That our Lords finding me
A gift of the Spirit divine
In silence is heard
Speak His living word
A blessing of our peace of mind
The way the wind blows
With our faith to follow
With breath of the Spirit divine
With our friend here to see
To embrace joyfully
In trinity’s love that we bind
He’s our security
For His grace covers me
With gratefulness let our joy shine
In our walk here this day
It’s our great joy to say
We are one in the Spirit divine
Come, oh come, oh Spirit blessed
As colors rising to express
To start this day with our request
In the light of dawning
Come, oh come, oh Spirit blessed
With humble will let us confess
To Your power we attest
Unto our knees of falling
Come, oh come, oh Spirit blessed
When we are put to the test
Through Your grace let us profess
Your Word of wisdom spawning
Come, oh come, oh Spirit blessed
Let this weary soul find rest
And turn to you when we are stressed
When we feel darkness calling
Come, oh come, oh Spirit blessed
With our praise, our joy express
In sharing prayer, let us invest
Our daily path of walking
A prayer of presence
The Spirit invoking
Drenched in Your love
A sacred soaking
The Spirit igniting
The word to devour
In time of beyond
A Holy hour
With soul of surrender
A finding so freeing
The Spirit infuses
A blessed being
Within this new wineskin
The Spirit is swelling
One of becoming
A divine dwelling
A moment of morning
Within the sunrise
A sacred vision
Was blessed to my eyes
The breath of the Spirit
In light did appear
That of the unseen
Through mist in the air
It blessed the pasture
The grass and the tree
Anointed the earth
And surely touched me
It moved along quickly
To another place
Sharing and spreading
The gift of God’s grace
It leaves us to ponder
With a prayer to lift
How will we share
The grace of His gift
In silence of morning
With soul to hear it
In the dawning light
A welcoming Spirit
Within Your Presence
Come now, draw near it
The love found within
Your welcoming Spirit
Bind with my soul
Desire, endear it
Let my presence be
A welcoming Spirit
In encounters this day
Lord, may we share it
Your embrace of love
A welcoming Spirit
Of things unseen
We are aware
Though we don’t see
We know they’re there
Warmth in the light
Caress of a breeze
Fragrance of flower
A song of heart, seize
Through practice of soul
Development to strive
Known within the Spirit
Beyond our senses, five
Receiving of Your love
Practicing of joy
Peace, faith, and hope
Treasures to employ
Senses of the Spirit
Of blessings to be shown
Eye which cannot see
But of the soul is known
A gift of outpouring
Of dawning’s beauty
Streaming pure light
Come wash over me
Air fresh and clean
Of sweet purity
One of the drawing
Come dwell in me
Presence is here
Of Spirit to be
Love of the binding
Come pray in me
A blessing of knowing
Of wisdom to see
A being of greater
Come let go of me
