CCLI #4941576 Written with Rebecca Dennison, who sings on this acapella demo. It's a modern hymn to the Holy Spirit or for the season of Pentecost, but would work well in many settings as a song of assurance, dedication, and praise.

Contemporary hymns and new worship music
CONTEMPORARY HYMNS AND NEW WORSHIP MUSIC These are acoustic worship songwriting demos with chords sheets. IF YOU'RE A SINGER, BAND, OR WORSHIP LEADER/PASTOR, FEEL FREE TO USE these modern hymns and worship songs in live settings, and to reproduce lyric sheets for Power Point, overhead transparency, or whatever you use. THE MODERN HYMN MOVEMENT: The recent explosion of contemporary hymns and inroads made into churches by Indelible Grace, Stuart Townend, Keith and Kristyn Getty and other modern hymn writers has done wonders for reminding us of the relevance of old hymns and turning again to new hymns crafted in old literary patterns that expressed theological truths in ways that many modern song-constructs cannot follow. I work in this tradition, writing deeply theological worship songs that can be adapted for various musical genres, while presenting the gospel in the depth that hymns are famous for. Click the "Lyrics/story tab next to each song on my MP3 music page for chords, as well as a list of themes/liturgical settings for each song and CCLI #s.

Story behind the song
A hymn in 87.87D meter. Text written by me; music by vocalist Rebecca Dennison
Lyrics
______G_______________Em In the upper room they waited _______C_____________D For the gift that was to come -- ______________Bm___________Em They, who’d walked beside the savior, ________C__________Am Seen the resurrected Son. ____________C____________Em Then You came to them as promised; ____________C____________D They were first to know Your power. ________C_______________Em Spirit, now You’ve come to fill us _____C______D_____G In our land and in our hour. Like a dove, You have descended And You’ve taught redemption’s song. Like a storm, You have upended All our idols from their thrones. Now we gather them for burning, Counting all these things as loss, Ever singing, ever yearning Just to glory in the cross. We accept Your invitation Sent to Adam's fallen race. You have spoken; We have listened, Understanding through Your grace. You direct and lead our praises; You inspire our love for truth. We submit our hearts for service; Hands and feet to work for you.
