This song is a prayer to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It was originally composed as a prayer to be gifted to Archbishop Jason Gordon when he left Barbados. He was Bishop of Bridgetown until his appointment as Archbishop of Port of Spain in 2017. What should a prayer for a Priest or Bishop sound like? I could only imagine that it would be something like what follows below. For me it is a prayer for a Shepherd blessed to be taking care of some of God's flock. It's also a prayer suited for each member of the flock. We hope that this prayer will help to bring you closer to God.

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
And 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, my 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, my salvation, blessed Trinity
Holy Spirt, 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
