Loving Spirit, loving Spirit,
you have chosen me to be.
You have drawn me to your wonder,
you have set your sign on me.
2
Like a mother, you enfold me,
hold my life within your own,
feed me with your very body,
form me of your flesh and bone.
3
Like a father, you protect me,
teach me the discerning eye,
hoist me up upon your shoulder,
let me see the world from high.
4
Friend and lover, in your closeness
I am known and held and blessed.
In your promise is my comfort;
in your presence I may rest.
5
Loving Spirit, loving Spirit,
you have chosen me to be.
You have drawn me to your wonder,
you have set your sign on me.
