SYMPATHY TO…
Cathy and Matt Sprayberry, William, Eli and Griffin, at the death of her
mom, and their grandmother Judy Hearn.
Spirit of the living God.
Spirit of the living God,
we only want to hear your voice.
We’re hanging on every word.
Spirit of the living God.
Spirit of the living God,
we’re leaning in to all you are.
Everything else can wait.
Spirit of the living God.
Spirit of the living God,
we want to know you more and more.
We’re hanging on every word.
Spirit of the living God.
Spirit of the living God,
come now and breath upon our hearts.
Come now and have your way.
(Chorus)
Cause when you speak and when you move,
when you do what only you can do,
it changes us.
It changes what we see and what we seek.
When you come in the room,
when you do what only you can do,
it changes us.
It changes what we see and what we seek.
You’re changing everything.
(Chorus)
When you move, you move all our fears.
When you move, you moves us to tears.
When you fall, we fall on our knees.
When you fall, we fall at your feet.
(Chorus)
