an old song ...

below is a an old song I used to hear my mom sing in the house on Bailey Drive so long ago. the second stanza is what I sang to Papa a few days ago as I was needing his presence as I was not able to "feel" it.

Holy Spirit u r welcome in this place
Holy Spirit u r welcome in this place
Omnipotent Father of mercy and GRACE
u r welcome in this place

there's a sweet, sweet Spirit in this place
there's a sweet, sweet Spirit in this place
Omnipotent Father of mercy and GRACE
thank u for the sweet Spirit here now.

I was reminded of this song as I was writing a letter to my husband dated 18-25 March 2019. I also heard my mom singing this one in the house on Bailey Drive so long ago.

sweet Holy Spirit, sweet heavenly dove
stay right here with us filling us with your love
and for each blessing, we lift our hearts in praise
without a doubt we'll know that we have been revived
when we shall leave this place.
