Holy Spark of Life,
Fan into flame
Your Pentecost fire
And cast its light
Across Your whole creation.

Let it be
A fire of inspiration
Bearing a hope that heals.

Let it be
A fire of consolation
Mending every old brokenness
With surprising new beginnings.

Let it be
A fire of possibility and promise
Spreading surprising hope
In every language known.

Let it be
A fire of strength
Burning deep within the heart
A passion for flourishing justice.

Let it be
A fire of love
Binding everything
And everyone to You
As You arrive unexpectedly
In the one called stranger
Who is never strange to You.

Yes, O Spark of Life
Fan into flame
Your Pentecost power
Dispel every deep chaos
And light our waiting wicks
To bear Your Holy radiance
In every turn of today.

Here…now…yes!
