Lyrics:

Spirit, come with gifts for giving,
Spirit, come with strength for living.
Good Spirit, come as Jesus came,
Great Spirit, come, O come again.

When hearts are cold and filled with hate
and people say its much too late;
When no one cares about a friend
and earth seems guaranteed to end:

REFRAIN:

O Good Spirit, come with gifts for giving,
Spirit come with strength for living.
Good Spirit come as Jesus came,
Great Spirit come, O come again.

When nothing seems to make much sense
and situations grow more tense;
When anger shouts and wins the day
and silenced truth’s allowed no say;

(Refrain)

When families fight and fall apart
and new things aren’t allowed to start;
When fears grab hold and choke our breath
and life is over powered by death;

(Refrain)

When we lose faith or we lose hope
and no one’s left with strength to cope;
When courage fails and melts away
and evil settles in to stay;

(Refrain)
