My songwriting partner Archie Castillo and I have completed a new song. Titled Spirit of God, although originally titled Make My Heart Your Home, it’s our second original song for the year, after a track called Come Together (Shout), which I unfortunately cannot stream here yet because I have to wait until I find out whether or not it will be included in the roster of original tracks for EN2010.
Spirit of God is a song for and about the Holy Spirit. I wrote it because I felt a need to have more songs for Holy Spirit baptism use. Most Holy Spirit opportunities involve Holy Spirit Rain Down, and Come Holy Spirit, which are terrific songs. I just felt it would be nice to have a few homegrown “Spirit” songs. Ps Joel Barrios wrote an excellent song called Holy Spirit of God, which I also meditated on in the course of writing this song. (I wonder why we don’t use Holy Spirit of God more often.)
Well, hopefully, it’ll be another new original song to add to the Fort’s growing original song roster. What do you think of Spirit of God?

Spirit of God
Ganns Deen, Archie Castillo
Spirit of God, melt my heart of stone
Spirit of God, make my heart your home
Holy Spirit, You’re welcome here
Holy Spirit, please draw near
Spirit of God, rain down
Spirit of God, rain down
And make my heart your home
Spirit of God, my heart’s one desire
Fill my heart with Your all-consuming fire
Holy Spirit, You’re welcome here
Holy Spirit, please draw near
Spirit of God, rain down
Spirit of God, rain down
And make my heart your home
Fill my heart, I desire you
