Familiar and comfortable
Religious tradition descends
No closer to God at the first
Than they are at the end
Expected experiences
Just as the bulletin said
Doctrinely pure,
But the words were all empty and dead
And the Spirit grieves
And the Spirit grieves
You can tell its professional
As soon as the service begins
Really is somethin' to see
As they're packin' 'em in
Exciting performances in music
And gesture and words
Emotions are high,
But beneath it all, nothing is stirred
And the Spirit grieves
And the Spirit grieves
You feel like you're home
When you walk through the living room door
Surrounded by friends
That you love, that you've been waitin' for
No leader is seen
But still people give voices to show
All bringing the gifts
That the Spirit has given His own
And led by the Master Himself
Into worship and praise
The Shakina descends
And infolds every heart that is raised!
And the Spirit sings!
And the love of Jesus heals and flows
New life is born and truth is preached
And heard along
And the Spirit sings!
And joy explodes around the throne
And the Spirit sings!
And the Spirit sings!
And the Spirit sings!
And the Spirit sings!
And the Spirit sings!!!
