Holy Spirit help me through Be my guide this day Help me in this desert place Show me the righteous way
I hunger, longing for fullness For strength renewed For refreshment of spirit Aching with emptiness of spirit Pining to be filled once again With your blessed food
Holy Spirit help me through Be my guide this day Help me in this desert place Show me the righteous way
I thirst, I long for drink For refreshment from above To satiate my parched soul To whet my spiritual dryness Longing for living water From your boundless well of love
Holy Spirit help me through Be my guide this day Help me in this desert place Show me the righteous way
I am weak, and fail to resist The tempter’s hand in my story Puffing up with things of self Feigning strength of my own To selfishly rise above all care Yet naught without your glory
Holy Spirit help me through Be my guide this day Help me in this desert place Show me the righteous way
I am tempted to the edge Supported by wrongful pride That by my effort alone achieve That I alone can lift myself up From the depths of the fall And without help my fate decide
Holy Spirit I pray Be with me in this desert time At my side as I offer my-self Strengthen me in my desolation Fill me, refresh me with your grace Guide me out of this dark valley Toward the light of salvation
