One: As we go now to our daily living,
may the Spirit come to us in new and exciting ways:
All: as a gentle whisper, in dreams, in silence, in prayer;
One: as a strong wind, in lives filled with love and compassion;
All: as a mighty storm, in exuberant hearts of joy.
One: So let us go now,
filled with the Spirit all our days!
All: Amen!
