What Comes Next

Holy Spirit,
healing Spirit,
make us yours,
set us free.

Give me breath,
be my breath,
speak my life,
remain in spite of death.

Wind the way,
eternalize the day,
the first and eighth,

and lead us where
you are, beyond context
and what comes next.

With you
I walk in Him
with Him
as Him
for Him.

With you
I chase
the sound
the word
you made me
speaking
shouting
singing
crying
calling
me, a name
you made
you saved
you will raise

on the day beyond what comes next.

Oh, let me go
to soar with you
to watch with you
to vivify
the sin-sick soul
the comatose of heart
the morbid-minded

to breathe the breath
that smothers death.

From east to west
I will follow you
beyond the day
and what comes next.

Holy Spirit,
healing Spirit,
make us yours,
set us free.
