about

In 1984, I was invited to a Christian festival called Spring Harvest by a school friend called Peter Karlick. I returned on fire for God and shortly afterwards started going to the monthly Days of Renewal at Ampleforth College in North Yorkshire.
The Days of Renewal were held in the crypt of this famous Catholic boy's school and facilitated by some of the monks - Fr Stephen Wright and Fr Ian Petit. The worship, led by a music teacher, Brendan Walls, featured prominently in the services and I became part of the youth group that played and sang.
There was a real anointing on those meetings, part of the spiritual revival within the Catholic Church at the time which came to be known as the Charismatic Renewal. 'Holy Spirit', written by a young trainee priest called Mark McGreevy, was one of the songs we sang.

lyrics

Holy Spirit
Came to me
'Midst a beautiful melody
Like a fog on a frosted morn'
He was all around me

Come to me
And don't be afraid of the journey
Walk across the water
And you're there
There's a waterfall of love
Waiting around the bend
The Spirit's gifts are waiting
To descend

Gentle Jesus
Fill our souls
with a dream that will never grow old
Fill our hearts with so much love
That we just can't hold out

Come to me...

My Creator
Praise to thee
For what you have done for me
I'm a tool on a factory floor
I am here come use me

Come to me...
