Wherever we are/
The Spirit/
Holy Spirit/
Shows up/
With prayers/
Sighs and groans/
Ultimate empathy/
We are never alone
In the air again/
As we are most of the time/
Up above the world of hurt/
Below/
Knowing that every bump and dip/
Is integral to the journey/
Knowing the softest landing/
Is the only wY/
Home
