I didn\u2019t \u201cfeel\u201d God\u2019s Spirit working in my life and some of these lyrics would have been far too emotional for me to consider.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Oh how thankful I am that I\u2019ve awakened to all that God\u2019s Spirit is able to do within me. For without the Holy Spirit, I would still be a little hard-hearted. And God\u2019s Word has plenty to say about being in that state (Ephesians 4:17-19; Hebrews 3:7-11; Hebrews 4:7).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>God\u2019s Spirit softens my heart to be a useable woman in God\u2019s Kingdom. And that is exactly where God wants me to be.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am also thankful to be awakened to what God\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As you read through these lyrics and listen to this worship song, I pray that you will allow God\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpirit of the Living God\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nSpirit of the living God,<\/p>\n<p>Spirit of the living God<\/p>\n<p>We only want to hear Your voice,<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re hanging on every word<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chorus:<\/p>\n<p>Cause when You speak, When You move<\/p>\n<p>When You do what only You can do<\/p>\n<p>It changes us, it changes what we see and what we seek<\/p>\n<p>When You come in the room,<\/p>\n<p>When You do what only You can do<\/p>\n<p>It changes us, it changes what we see and what we seek<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re changing everything<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Spirit of the living God,<\/p>\n<p>Spirit of the living God<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re leaning in to all you are<\/p>\n<p>Everything else can wait<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Spirit of the living God,<\/p>\n<p>Spirit of the living God<\/p>\n<p>Come now and breathe upon our hearts<\/p>\n<p>Come now and have your way<\/p>\n<p>(Chorus)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bridge:<\/p>\n<p>When You move, You move all our fears<\/p>\n<p>When You move, You move us to tears<\/p>\n<p>When You move, You move all our fears<\/p>\n<p>When You move, You move us to tears<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When You fall, We fall on our knees<\/p>\n<p>When You fall, We fall at Your feet<\/p>\n<p>When You fall, We fall on our knees<\/p>\n<p>When You fall, We fall at Your feet<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZPZrxZgQjrg\">here <\/a>to listen to this beautiful worship song.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Donna<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> \u201cSpirit of the Living God,\u201d Words and Music by Jacob Sooter and Mia Fieldes, HBC Worship Music, Sony\/ATV Cross Keys Publishing, Upside Down Under, 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; It hasn\u2019t been that long since I shared a song with this same title.
