Holy spirit rain down

Fresh Fire...

"Fresh fire let it fall
O God hear our call
Send Your Spirit like a rushing wind
We need fresh fire

We are hungry we are thirsty
Crying out for more of You
Lord we are desperate for Your mercy
Let us burn to know Your Truth
Light a flame in us now
Send Your holy fire down

We have left our hearts unguarded
We confess we've walked away
Lord take us back to where we started
Where we first found love and grace
Light a flame in us now
Send Your holy fire down

More of Your love
More of Your power
Send a revival
We need it now
Stir up a fire
Let it burn brighter
Let the flame burn higher
higher higher

Revive us again"

Holy Spirit Feasts (Porguguese Tradition)

Saint Anthony's Parish, Cambridge, MA - English version

Towards the end of the page at the link above Fr. gives a good explanation of where the 'Festas Do Espirito Santo' in Portugal derived from.
