Like A Butterfly

To my mother-in-law, Evelyn
(chorus)
Oh Lord, let thy spirit light on my shoulder like a butterfly.
Let your beauty transform me, enter into my heart.
Come Holy Spirit, light on my shoulder like a butterfly.
Let your presence remake me and give me new life.
The Spirit moves like a butterfly on the wind - so silently.
It moves around us and in us and through us to others.
With the Spirit to guide me, life can be so easy.
With the Spirit I can do things I could never do before.
repeat chorus
The Spirit lifts me from my self.
My heart fills with compassion and love for his children.
The spirit empowers, enables and strengthens.
It counsels, upholds us and brings us joy and peace.
Oh Lord, let thy spirit light on my shoulder like a butterfly.
Flutter upward before me and show me how to fly.
Come Holy Spirit, light on my shoulder like a butterfly.
I want to know how to fly.
I want to know how to fly.
