Ode to the Indwelling Spirit

by Annie B © 2025

Oh, hallowed breath of Divine essence,
In the sanctuary of human presence,
Dwelling deep within the hearts of clay
Guiding us through the labyrinth of the day.

You, the whisper of God's own likeness,
Within the mortal frame's vast wilderness,
A spark that burns the dross away
Bright beacons of the eternal day.

In the stillness of the silent night
You speak to us in a tender soft light,
Or in the chaos of the midday sun
saying, "You are mine, my child, my chosen one!"

Through tempests fierce and trials severe,
Your light pierces through the veil of fear.
When hope seems lost and faith does wane,
Your Truth and Wisdom will forever reign.

The fruit of love, of joy, of peace, you bear,
Against the tide of life's despair
In patience, kindness, goodness too,
You stand, steadfast and ever true.

O, Holy Spirit, wind of Heaven's throng,
In every step, in every song
You lead us to our Father's grace,
Your gentle touch we cherish and embrace.

In every fleeting moment's span,
Into the heart of God's grand plan.
When we are weak, in You we're made strong,
Through suffering long, in You we belong.

For we are not mere flesh and bone,
But made temples of the sacred throne.
And in this truth, we find our peace
To live and breathe in harmony.


So, let us sing an ode of praise,
In every act of love we display.
To You, who makes our hearts anew,
Our lives an echo of Your Truth.

Oh, Indwelling Spirit, heaven's flame,
Through every age, in Jesus' name,
We are free from shackles of our mortal plight,
As we forever bask in Your Light

In this life's fleeting, transient frame,
For in Your grace, we rise to claim
The promise of a life forevermore,
We're bound by chains of doubt no more,

Where pain and tears shall cease to be,
And we shall live in perfect unity,
In the embrace of God's own family,
Forever in divine community.

Until that day when earth meets sky,
With every breath, with every sigh,
We will cherish Your life and sweet love
And we ascend to realms above,

In the here and now, we live and move,
In every moment, we shall prove
Your Truth we hold in every part
Beating in rhythm with Your heart.

Amen.
