As we gather in this place today
Holy spirit come and have your way
Have your way
As we lay aside our own desires
Sweep across our hearts with Holy fire
Have your way
This is your house your home
We welcome you Lord we welcome you
This is your house your home
We welcome you today
As we offer up our hearts and lives
Let them be a living sacrifice
Have your way
Be glorified in everything you do
Be glorified in everything we say
Have your way
As we pray Oh Lord draw near
It’s your voice we long to hear
