Verse 2

You make us rejoice in serving, giving strength where we had none; certain tasks had seemed unnerving, but you've proven you're the one who gives gifts of love and power, confidence and self-control. Fill us now, this very hour; help us reach your kingdom's goal.

Verse 3

Holy Spirit, you are always in our hearts and in our lives; leading both in ease and hard days, working so that God's love thrives. Make us all you have intended; lay our hesitance aside, help us give till life has ended, so that Christ is glorified.
