As you know if you read here regularly, I love to refer to the Holy Spirit as Mama…and back in the 1990s I started calling Her “Lady Grace”, based on the stories my baby was writing back then “Tales of the Blood King.”
I have always had a very deep interest in and affinity with Holy Spirit. As a child, I used to be scared of our orchards, because I was certain that I heard a “ghost” calling me to come out in the orchard and meet her. It frightened me because it was so unusual, not so much because I thought harm would come to me. When I tried to talk to my parents about it, they just laughed at me, and marveled at “the imagination on that kid!” Yeah, that sorta hurt…but why would they think or do otherwise? It certainly is not “normal”!
In college, thanks to my beloved Dearest Darling, I met Holy Spirit very personally face to face (in my heart of course…the literal face to face is still to come!). And since that time, She has been very present and with me…with the exception of last year in the autumn, when They strategically withdrew to break me out of dry dock, and launch me on a voyage.
This song was my attempt at conveying the beauty, the blessing, and the healing of Lady Grace’s presence. Whenever I played it, the reaction was dramatic…some people were transported into a deeper realm of devotion and union with God…and other people literally at times tried to stop me from playing it, to the point of threatening to kick me out of church if I persisted. I persisted…
Take a look for yourselves…and may you always find a door to open in your heart to Lady Grace, the most gentle and comforting and powerful of beings!!

Like A Rose (Come Holy Ghost)
The fragrance of Your Presence here is all I need.
You fall on me like dew on thirsty ground.
You pour out golden oil on my hungry heart,
I will drink of heaven’s love come down.
Chorus #1:
Holy Spirit come (echo). Holy Spirit come (echo)
Come and pour the Wine of Father’s love.
Holy Spirit come (echo). Holy Spirit come (echo),
Come and fill our hearts with Love again.
The fire of Your Presence here is like a Rose,
You blossom in the dark night of my soul.
Your steadfast love surrounds me and You melt the snows,
And I am set aflame by First Love’s coal.
Chorus #2:
Holy Spirit Fall! (echo) Holy Spirit Fall! (echo)
Fall like Holy Fire from Father’s Throne.
Holy Spirit Fall! (echo) Holy Spirit Fall! (echo)
Come and set our hearts on fire again.
