Jesus' entrance into Jerulsalem on a donkey.
When the Bishop of Bridgetown was appointed Archbishop of Port of Spain there was a desire to give him a gift of prayer. That desire inspired this prayer and song...Most Holy Trinity. That was back in 2017...it has taken us this long to be able to record and release the prayer publicly. We hope that it will be part of your prayer on Trinity Sunday.
Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity
Father, into Your hands, I commend my spirit, I surrender my heart,
I relinquish my will
And Father, I abandon myself, I come, to be sculpted,
let Your will be done in me
Father, I entrust you with my doubts, I cast all my cares,
You are my refuge and strength
Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
Praise, glory and honour, our hope, our salvation, blessed Trinity
Jesus, Your body fills my hungry soul, Your blood quenches my inner thirst
You’ve lived to die for all my sins
Jesus, have mercy on my transgressions, accept my tears of repentance
Renew my strength to bear my cross
And Jesus, Lamb of God, You are my Shepherd, with You no evil do I fear
Blest be the power of Your name
Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Praise and glory and honour, our hope, our salvation, blessed Trinity
Holy Spirit, I invite your presence here, I welcome all your gifts
I pledge to use them all in service
Holy Spirit, bring me wisdom and enlight’nment, anoint my lips to speak Your word
Open my eyes to seek Your truth
And Holy Spirit, dwell in me, Kindle Your flame in my heart, fill me with love and compassion
Breathe new life in me
Amen
Prayer and music composed and recorded by Color Music Ministry
Color Music Ministry released 2 new songs for celebrating the recent feast of Pentecost..., the first is Prayer to the Holy Spirit...this is the second, in contrast to the first one which is meant for quiet and meditative worship, this one is meant for praise and worship, and some dancing with the Holy Spirit.
One of the members of Color music ministry has composed music for the Prayer to the Holy Spirit. The recording is a peaceful and meditative version of this prayer in song.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Breathe in me O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy.
Amen

The music is also available on our Contemplative Worship podcast which can be found on all podcast providers.
Some years ago someone asked if I could set St John Vianney's Prayer to Jesus to music. I had never seen this prayer before but once I did it resonated immediately. What an absolutely beautiful love song to Jesus! Color Music Minstry recorded and recently released the song online via our Contemplative Worship Podcast, SoundCloud and YouTube and it will soon be available for streaming on all major platforms.
St John Vianney’s Prayer to Jesus
"I love You, O my God, My only desire
is to love You until the last breath of my life.
I love You, O my infinitely lovable God,
and I would rather die loving You,
than live without loving You.
I love You, Lord
and the only grace
I ask is to love You eternally.
My God, if my tongue can't say
in every moment that I love You,
I want my heart to repeat it
to You as often as I draw breath."

Hi everyone,
I present to you 'Song of Peace' used as part of a welcome to a liturgy and can get quite complex in that the song has two choruses that are sing at the same time, splitting th church up into two competitive halves (quite fun too!).
I do recall using this one time and one piece of feedback I received was questionning the reference to the 'gender' of the Holy Spirit (I use the term 'his'). Any advice on this would be very welcome!
Have a great day Richard, and all.

Lyrics:
Jesus turned to his disciples and said to them, "I leave my peace, and as the father sent me, I now send you to every nation' and so in prayer:
Chorus one:
We sing a song of peace, we sing a song to share
A peace bestowed by Jesus, to show us how to care.
And may the Spirit spread his wings
Filling our hearts with peace for evermore
to bring us always closer to the Lord
Chorus two:
We sing a song for one another
and we know the truth and life of Christ is held within
