lyrics
VERSE1:
Spirit, descend upon our hearts
Fill every pulse, fill every move
Stoop to our weakness mighty as you are
Let us love as you have shown us love
VERSE2:
We ask no dream, no prophecy
No rending of this veil of clay
But just to meet you in an hour of still relief
To take the dimness of our souls away
PRECHORUS1:
Ignite in us a holy love
Hearts that burn for your presence Lord
The strength to seek, the joy to find The hope to rise
CHORUS:
Your Spirit’s kindling a mighty blaze
Up from the ashes, up from the grave
A holy passion, a shout of praise
Our hearts the altar, your love the flame
PRECHORUS2:
Lift your hearts, he is here
The weight of every grief to bear
Awake my soul, the Lord is near
