You send out your Word; it
melts our cold hearts;
your Holy Wind blows,
and the ice disappears.
Jesus our Lord, pray let
us abide in your love,
setting aside every
weight, with the sin that
clings so closely. Then
we will proceed--
crossing over to your
promised land--
to run with perseverance
the race
that you have set before
us.
