“Come Holy Spirit, Come! Renew our lives, inside and out. With fire and wind, come to this place; gather us in, send us out.”

Prayer for Worship on Pentecost

The following call to worship can be used in almost any worship setting, at home, in a class or small group. The lines can be spoken by all, or you can break it up with multiple speakers, or with calls and responses.

Come, Holy Spirit, Come! Renew the face of the earth.

Come, Holy Spirit, Come! Renew our lives, inside and out.

Renew our faith, renew our relationships, renew our trust in your mercy.

Come, Holy Spirit, Come! Renew our lives, inside and out.

Challenge us, comfort us, stir us up, calm us down.

Come Holy Spirit, Come! Renew our lives, inside and out.

With fire and wind, come to this place; gather us in, send us out;

Come Holy Spirit, Come! Renew our lives, inside and out.

Make our legs stronger, our hands firmer, our hearts wider in love.

Come Holy Spirit, Come! Renew the face of the earth.
