71 God’s Gift of Holy Spirit
(Luke 11:13)
Sov - ’reign, Je - ho - vah, mer - ci - ful Fa - ther,
Fa - ther, we all fall short of your glo - ry;
When we are wea - ry, weak, or dis - cour - aged,
Great - er you are than our sin - ful hearts.
Times there have been when we’ve lost our way.
Your ac - tive force will our hearts re - new.
Light - en our bur - den, soft - en our an - guish,
God, we be - seech you: Please may you grant us
Give us the strength to mount up like ea - gles;
Give us the com - fort your spir - it im - parts.
Your ho - ly spir - it to guide us each day.
May we re - ceive ho - ly spir - it from you.
(See also Ps. 51:11; John 14:26; Acts 9:31.)
