The Other Poems
Holy, Holy Spirit

Holy, Holy Spirit, I have quenched your flame.
I received you, but I grieved you
when conviction came.

Holy, Holy Spirit, whom I have despised,
Jesus sent you and He meant you
when He prophesied

that He would send the Holy Spirit
showing me the way
and leading me into the truth,
the truth I disobey,
revealing life and liberty
that I have shoved away.

Holy, Holy Spirit, present in my heart,
I repent of grieving your love.
Please do not depart.

Holy, Holy Spirit, when I hear your voice,
confirmation of salvation
makes my heart rejoice!
