Dear Holy Spirit from above
Who dwells within my heart
To shed abroad God’s perfect love,
New power now impart.
You were the One who first revealed
My sinfulness to me,
Exposing what had been concealed
Before You made me see.
You were the One who gave me sight
To see my Savior’s grace,
You turned to day my inner night
By showing me His face.
You were the One who changed my heart
That I might look and live,
I trace to You the glorious start
Of knowing You forgive.
You are the One who came within
To comfort, teach, and guide,
To show and to forgive my sin,
To ever now abide.
You are the One who speaks to me
Throughout each day below –
Your Word is living and I see
New truth each day You show.
You are the One I often grieve
Though I desire Your power.
Oh how I long to just believe
Your promises each hour.
You are the One to whom I turn
For help again today,
Control and fill me till I burn
With heavenly love, I pray.
