Recreate and guide us, Spirit-Friend.
Spirit who enlivens, sanctifies, enlightens,
Sets us free, is now our Spirit-Friend.
Refrain:
Spirit of our Maker, Spirit-Friend.
Spirit of our Jesus, Spirit-Friend.
Spirit of God's people, Spirit-Friend.
2 Darkened roads are clearer, heavy burdens lighter,
When we're walking with our Spirit-Friend.
Now we need not fear the powers of the darkness.
None can overcome our Spirit-Friend. [Refrain]
3 Now we are God's people, bonded by God's presence,
Agents of your purpose, Spirit-Friend.
Lead us forward ever, slipping backwards never,
To your remade world, our Spirit-Friend. [Refrain] Topics: Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: NATOMAH
