It hasn’t been that long since I shared a song with this same title. Just three weeks as a matter of fact. But we sang this version yesterday in our worship service and I was touched, yet again, by God’s Spirit through the lyrics and melody of this beautiful song.

In my early years as a Christian, I would have dismissed this song. I didn’t “feel” God’s Spirit working in my life and some of these lyrics would have been far too emotional for me to consider.

Oh how thankful I am that I’ve awakened to all that God’s Spirit is able to do within me. For without the Holy Spirit, I would still be a little hard-hearted. And God’s Word has plenty to say about being in that state (Ephesians 4:17-19; Hebrews 3:7-11; Hebrews 4:7).

God’s Spirit softens my heart to be a useable woman in God’s Kingdom. And that is exactly where God wants me to be.

I am also thankful to be awakened to what God’s Spirit opens my spiritual eyes to see. He has removed spiritual blindness (Matthew 13:14-15; 2 Corinthians 4:3-4) so that I am able to see His will, His work in my life and what I seek.

As you read through these lyrics and listen to this worship song, I pray that you will allow God’s Spirit to do His work in your heart. I pray that you will be open to the transformation that is available. I pray that you will cry out to the Spirit in your time of trouble. Then, wait. Wait to see what the Spirit of the living God is able to do in your life.

“Spirit of the Living God”

 
Spirit of the living God,

Spirit of the living God

We only want to hear Your voice,

We’re hanging on every word

Chorus:

Cause when You speak, When You move

When You do what only You can do

It changes us, it changes what we see and what we seek

When You come in the room,

When You do what only You can do

It changes us, it changes what we see and what we seek

You’re changing everything

Spirit of the living God,

Spirit of the living God

We’re leaning in to all you are

Everything else can wait

Spirit of the living God,

Spirit of the living God

Come now and breathe upon our hearts

Come now and have your way

(Chorus)

Bridge:

When You move, You move all our fears

When You move, You move us to tears

When You move, You move all our fears

When You move, You move us to tears

When You fall, We fall on our knees

When You fall, We fall at Your feet

When You fall, We fall on our knees

When You fall, We fall at Your feet[i]
