Anoint us, Lord

1
Anoint us, Lord, we feel the need of your strength. 
Flow through our lives with your love. 
Pour your cooling oils down, 
give us soundness of breath. 
Bring your Spirit like a dove. 

2
Anoint us, Lord, we are sick and alone. 
Lonely and lost, we seek relief.
Pour your cooling oils down, 
while prayers of faith we raise. 
New life we shall receive. 

3
Anoint us, Lord, we want to give ourselves to you, 
strengths and weaknesses alike. 
Pour your cooling oils down, 
and consecrate our lives. 
We give ourselves to you.
