The Spirit of the Lord will be poured upon us

Refrain:
 The Spirit of the Lord
 will be poured upon us;
 then shall the desert soon become such fertile land.
 Justice shall take root in the thriving wasteland
 and integrity will flourish in the valleys.
 (The Spirit of the Lord!
 The Spirit of the Lord! final refrain)


1. The Spirit of God moves us to bring
 good news to poor and stranger
and to the blind new vision, clear,
to set prisoners free.


2. Called to be gift and to proclaim
God’s goodness for all persons,
we hope to heal hearts filled with pain
and to comfort those grieving. Refrain



3. Yes, as the earth nurtures its crops
 for all to share and care for,
 so will our God bring to birth
 the Spirit within us. Refrain
