not of this world

Father of light, from whom every good gift comes, 

send your Spirit into our lives 

with the power of a mighty wind, 

and by the flame of your wisdom 

open the horizons of our minds. 

Loosen our tongues to sing your praise 

in words beyond the power of speech, 

for without your Spirit 

man could never raise his voice in words of peace 

or announce the truth that Jesus is Lord, 

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, 

one God, for ever 

and ever. 

 

morning prayer, Pentecost
