And his name is Leo!

Send your Spirit's gifts, O Lord,

   on our new pope, Leo XIV...

 

Send him wisdom 

    to shape and inform his judgement;

understanding 

    to interpret the signs of the times;

counsel 

    to guide and direct your church;

fortitude 

    flowering in courage and strength;

knowledge 

    to weigh what's revealed and inspired;

awe before you, 

    the source of all good;

and personal holiness, free of pride,

    ready to do your will, O Lord...

 

Let patience and mercy, justice and peace,

    the Spirit's grace and the gospel's joy

shine forth in his preaching, his teaching and work

    for the good of all peoples who seek the truth...

Protect us, Lord while we're awake

    and watch over us while we sleep

that awake, we might keep watch with you

    and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.

 

May this be the song

 in our new pope's heart this night...

Lord I'm ready to receive your grace
Lord I'm ready, here I am
Oh, Lord I'm ready to receive your grace
Lord I'm ready, Lord I 'm ready here I stand

Lay your hand upon me so that I may be free
Let Thy Holy Spirit fall on me
Cleanse me from unrighteousness
and fill me with your holiness
let thy Holy Spirit fall on me

Lord, I'm ready... I'm ready...

 

Lord I'm ready to receive your grace
Lord I'm ready, here I am
Oh, Lord I'm ready to receive your grace
Lord I'm ready, Lord I 'm ready here I stand

 

Lay your hand upon me so that I may be free
Let Thy Holy Spirit fall on me
Cleanse me from unrighteousness
and fill me with your holiness
let thy Holy Spirit fall on me
let thy Holy Spirit fall on me 

 

Said I am ready,

Yes, I am ready...

Oh, oh, oh,

Let thy Spirit fall on me

Oh, cleanse me from unrighteousness
and fill me with your holiness
let thy Holy Spirit fall on me

Said I am ready
I am ready here

Standing at a throne

Kneeling down before you

Ready to receive 

I am ready

Just to wait on you

Bow down before you

I am ready, Lord

Bow down before you

Standing at the altar

Arms stretched out

To receive your love, grace,

peace, joy

Oh, I'm ready, Lord,

I'm ready now...
