Timothy Brindle - The Holy Spirit lyrics

[Hook: Leah Smith] You gave us breath, you gave us life Opened our eyes to see the Christ Holy Spirit we worship You Spirit of God we worship You Now you live inside of us You help us serve the God we trust Holy Spirit we worship You Without You we can do nothing at all [Verse 1] (tim) Spirit of God, in ourselves we're lifeless So we ask You now for Your powerful help to write this God the Spirit, we worship Thee You've been one with the God the Father and God the Son for All Eternity! One in Your Substance, One in Your Honor Spirit–You are the love between the Son and the Father! Spirit –You're the Creator whom we are praisin' Plus You're God's personal agent of re-creation! (shai) We see You at creation hovering over the face of the waters You were faithful to order the waves and their borders We spread d**h- the type to contaminate earth's inhabitants But You're the breath of life that animates the inanimate You filled Your servants with sk**, knowledge and intelligence To build the tabernacle where God and man could fellowship Where the undeserving elect could serve You with reverence Behind the curtain- Your essence, a picture of worship in heaven (tim) You revealed in Your Word- it says in, Ezekiel 37 Breath of God–You're the Worker of Resurrection! To raise from the grave the depraved and enslaved A new race You'll create through Christ, the perfect Servant-Shepherd (shai) Speaking of Christ, we can see Him in shadows and types The prophets, kings and judges You empowered to battle and fight You even had them write it down- the ultimate story The sufferings of the Christ and the subsequent glories [Hook] [Verse 2] (tim) Holy Spirit, for Your deeds we are stunned, in awe Like how in the virgin's womb You conceived the Son of God Then when He was baptized within the Sea On Messiah You descended to empower His entire ministry Empowered His miracles He displayed that amazed men Empowered Him to overcome temptations of Satan To be the Firstborn from the dead of God's New Creation of saints From the grave You have raised Him- so You'll raise them Jesus promised You'd send His thoughts You're the anointing oil flowing from the King's head at Pentecost Down to His body, His kingdom You spread across Making effectual the message of the precious cross! (shai) The book of Acts is not about the acts of the Apostles But the acts of the Holy Spirit impacting with the gospel Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria to Africa Empowered your servants like Stephen when they were ma**acred Ananias and Sapphira lied to You So you put them both to d**h to show the church what a Holy God can do You set apart Paul and Barnabas for the work of missions You worked in the church's division over circumcision You take Christ's objective cross work and vindication And then apply it to the elect through regeneration You saved us from the lake of fire, make us like our great Messiah Graciously You take us higher- praise to You, our Sanctifier [Hook] [Verse 3] (tim) You're the Author of Scripture and its illuminator Our God-given picture to see the Ruling Savior Your thoughts are in-scripted on our hearts with conviction And You're the Father's provision who renews our Nature (shai) With our nature renewed, now by grace we pursue Conformity to the Savior through the faith that's from You The fruit You produce is proof that Your people are real Directing our thoughts to Jesus when our evil's revealed (tim) You reveal our evil and the mercy of the cross And You seal Your people and ensure that none are lost Spirit of Adoption, You disperse His love abroad Within our hearts and spirits so we're sure we're sons of God! (shai) And with that blessed a**urance, we're set for the warring We're kept by Your warnings and we're prepped for endurance You provide gifts- even miracles a**uredly But fruit is a better gauge of spiritual maturity (tim) You unite us to Jesus so we can die to lust Spirit of Christ- You're the presence of Christ in us! (You) already began His resurrection life inside of us So when He returns, by Your might we'll rise from dust (shai) In Revelation, we see Your presence before the throne Forever You will help us to reverence the Lord alone You're the source of all life and yet Your story's precise Amazingly, You do it all for the glory of Christ! [Hook]
