We’ve waited for this day , We’re gathered in Your Name calling out to You . Your glory like a fire awakening desire , will burn our hearts with truth . You’re the reason we’re here , You’re the reason we’re singing .

+ PENTECOST CALL TO WORSHIP (John 3:6-8)“What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.Do not be astonished that I said to you,‘You must be born from above.’The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it,but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes.

So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

There’s nothing worth more that will ever come close,No thing can compare You’re our living hope,Your Presence, Lord.I’ve tasted and seen of the sweetest of loves,Where my heart becomes free, and my shame is undone,Your Presence, Lord.

(Chorus) Holy Spirit You are welcome here,Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere.Your glory God is what our hearts long for,To be overcome by Your Presence Lord. Your Presence Lord.
