Come Away with Me ‎#2

2. Spirit, Falling Like A Dove

Spirit falling like a dove,
claim me for the Son of Love,
call me through God's living Word,
by the name of Christ my Lord.

Water flowing over me,
cleanse, refresh, and set me free,
free to hear God's living Word,
free to follow Christ my Lord.

Spirit, breathe new life in me,
fill my heart that I may be
faithful to God's living Word,
friend of Jesus Christ my Lord.

Spirit, with your fire divine,
seal me with your sacred sign,
mark me with God's living Word,
make me one with Christ my Lord.
