Come Holy Spirit, and Give Us Your Child

(Note:  written in December, 2000)

We wait for the coming of G-d once again, who came in the form of our brother. He told us, his kin, to “await my return” to just wait with deep faith and assurance.

We are, it is said, originally made in the semblance of G-d the Creator.  The Bible, if true, says that we are not one, but both female and male in our essence.

So now we are waiting for G-d once again, as She comes in the form of our sister.  She too will reveal our Great G-d in the flesh; She will teach us to know our true nature.

CHORUS:

Come Holy Spirit, Mother of Life and join in our search for redemption! Come Holy Spirit, Mother of Hope restore a new trust deep within us! Come Holy Spirit, Mother of Love that we may confront our true nature! Come Holy Spirit, Mother of Faith and give us Your Child, our sweet sister!

Until we have met her, and known her sweet grace, we’ll search every face we encounter, in trust that this child of Sophia as well will be able to grant us salvation.

We have no illusion, her way will be hard.  Her call will be much like her Brother’s.  Her touch, just like his, will give sight to the blind; though so many prefer to have darkness.

CHORUS:

Come Holy Spirit, Mother of Life, and join in our search for redemption! Come Holy Spirit, Mother of Hope, restore a new trust deep within us! Come Holy Spirit, Mother of Love, that we may confront our true nature! Come Holy Spirit, Mother of Faith, and give us Your child, our sweet sister!

Her gaze and her touch will stir fires long gone cold in ways that her brother’s could never.  Her words and her wisdom will bring peace and joy, but the Servants of Fear will destroy her.

We know, though, one day we will meet her and then, she’ll show us the full love of G-d.  She’ll welcome us into her ample embrace, all while banishing fear, hate, and anger.

CHORUS:

Come Holy Spirit, Mother of Life, and join in our search for redemption! Come Holy Spirit, Mother of Hope, restore a new trust deep within us! Come Holy Spirit, Mother of Love, that we may confront our true nature! Come Holy Spirit, Mother of Faith, and give us Your child, our sweet sister!
