The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me now
To love, to speak, to heal, to preach
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me now
Giving life
You turn ashes to beauty
Mourning to dancing
Anguish to songs of praise
Pour your Spirit over me
Let Your love rain down
Would You take these hands of mine
And use me
Pour Your Spirit over me
Let Your love rain down
Would You take these feet of mine
And lead me
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me now
To go, to free, to give, to feed
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me now
Spreading love
You lead me to the poor
That’s where You are
You lead me to the weak
That’s where You are
You lead me to the lost
That’s where You are
Lord I want to be where You are
