Holy Spirit do not forsake me.

 Holy Spirit, Do Not Forsake Me

Holy Spirit, do not forsake me—You are my Helper, my Guide,

The One who walks beside me, who stays close by my side.

When the path is dark and winding, when I cannot find my way,

Be the lamp unto my feet, the compass for each day.

I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. (John 14:16-17)

Do not leave me when I stumble, when my words are weak and few.

You are the One who intercedes with groans that see me through.

When my heart is cold and silent, when I cannot feel Your fire,

Fan the flame of holy longing, stir the embers of desire.

Forsake me not in my confusion, when I cannot understand.

You are the Teacher of all truth, the wisdom from God's hand.

Lead me into every mystery, reveal the Father's heart,

And from Your gentle presence, let me never, ever part.

Do not cast me from Your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me. (Psalm 51:11)

Holy Spirit, remain—in the morning and the night.

Be my comfort, be my counsel, be my everlasting light.

For if You go before me, I can face whatever comes.

But if You withdraw Your presence, my soul is left with crumbs.

So I cling to Your promise—You are with us to the end.

My Comforter, my Teacher, my Counselor, my Friend.

Holy Spirit, do not forsake me. Stay, abide, remain.

And in Your faithful presence, I will never be the same.

Amen.
