Many Holy Spirit hymns ask the Spirit to come and be present in various ways. On this third Sunday the concept is about the Spirit falling afresh on us in order to melt, mold, fill, and use us.
In the following scripture readings Daniel and Mary were filled with the Holy Spirit and used for great things – most importantly Mary, the virgin mother of Christ.
Scripture:
Daniel 4:18 This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. And you, O Belteshazzar [Daniel], declare now its interpretation, since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the Spirit of the Holy God is in you.
Luke 1:35 Then the angel said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and so the holy Thing which shall be born of you will be called the Son of God.
Song: “Spirit of the Living God” written by Daniel Iverson
Spirit of the living God,
Fall afresh on me.
Spirit of the living God,
Fall afresh on me.
Break me, melt me,
Mold me, fill me,
Spirit of the living God,
Fall afresh on me.
