Holy Spirit hold me tight,
Alone Iâll never make the fight,
I feel so lost, alone, afraid.
I fear Iâll never make the grade.
Holy Spirit, stay close by,
I need Your strength if Iâm to try.
I know the battle I canât grasp.
A frightened child Your hand I clasp.
Holy Spirit, love me still,
With Your message, my mind fill.
Soothe my fears with Your sweet balm,
Bringing peace; joy, hope and calm.
Holy Spirit, help me see,
What the Father loves in me.
Help me know that Iâm okay,
Secure in Jesus day by day.
Holy Spirit, help me know,
All the truths to me You show.
Teach me not to run ahead,
Then run back in fear and dread.
Holy Spirit, gently guide,
Always with me, by my side.
If my progress slow must be,
Let me know You still love me.
Holy Spirit, heal my soul,
Make my wounded spirit whole.
Teach me how to praise the Lord,
And one day firmly grasp His sword.
Holy Spirit, take my love,
Give it to the Lord above.
Teacher, guide and comfort be,
Help me always, trust in Thee.
Amen.
