Holy Spirit, Storm of Love
Music by Ron KlusmeierWords by Brian Wren
Tune Name: CLARESHOLM
Lyrics as Poetry
Holy Spirit, storm of love,
break our self protective walls.
Bring us out and show us why,
nakedly upon the cross,
open to the wind and sky,
Jesus waits and Jesus calls.Show us, in his tortured flesh,
earth’s creator on display,
broken by affairs of state,
drinking horror, pain and grief,
arching in the winds of hate,
giving love and life away.Show us how this dying love entered,
bore and understood
all our deep, unconscious drives,
each exploiting, evil thread
woven through our nation’s lives,
all our life apart from God.Thus convicted, claimed and called,
freed as Christ we freely choose,
washed in love, reborn, renamed,
doing justice, knowing God,
may we witness unashamed,
confident to give good news.News that Jesus is alive,
as the People of the Dove,
going out in praise and prayer,
meet the evils of our time
and the demons of despair
with forgiving, living love.
