Spirit of God, fall upon me.

 Spirit of God, Fall Upon Me

A Reflection on Acts 2:2-4 and Ezekiel 37:14

Spirit of God, fall upon me—not as a gentle mist alone,

But as the rushing, mighty wind that shakes me to the bone.

Come as the fire that purifies, that burns away the dross,

That melts my heart of stone and turns my gain to holy loss.

Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. (Acts 2:2-3)

Fall upon my mind—illumine every darkened thought.

Let the Spirit of truth unravel all the lies the enemy has brought.

Where confusion reigns, bring clarity; where doubt has made its nest,

Breathe Your peace, O Holy Spirit, and give my troubled mind a rest.

Fall upon my heart—melt the hardness, heal the hurt.

Where fear has taken residence, let faith arise and assert

The power of Your indwelling, the comfort of Your nearness,

The joy of Your salvation, the sweetness of Your dearness.

I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes. (Ezekiel 37:14)

Fall upon my lips—let them speak with holy fire,

Not with eloquence of men, but with heaven’s own desire.

Loosen every tongue of silence, break the chains of timid dread.

Let my mouth declare Your wonders as the Spirit leads, be led.

Fall upon my hands—let them serve and heal and bless.

Use my ordinary touch to carry heaven’s tenderness.

Mold my fingers, guide my gestures, let each act become a prayer,

A living sacrifice ascending to Your throne of care.

Spirit of God, fall upon me—not for a moment’s thrill,

But for a lifetime of surrender, for the working of Your will.

Fill me, flood me, flow through me, make me more like Christ,

Until the day I see Him face to face in paradise.

Come, Holy Spirit. I am ready. I am waiting. I am Yours.

Fall upon me now. Amen.
