Ghost Stories
Brandon Lake's song "Ghost Stories" celebrates the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit throughout history and in the present. The lyrics reference biblical moments like the parting of the sea, Daniel in the lion's den, and the resurrection, while also pointing to personal encounters with God's presence. The chorus invites the Spirit to move again and fill believers, echoing the Pentecost experience. The song emphasizes that God's Spirit is always active, from the virgin birth to the empty tomb, and calls for a fresh anointing. It's a worshipful declaration of faith in the Spirit's power to transform lives.
Something's hovering
Out on those waves
The spirit started moving
Before the world was ever made
Burning bushes
Talking flames
Yeah the power of the Paraclete
Is etched in every page
And if I were you
I'd lose those shoes 'cause
God is in this place
Ghost stories
Holy Ghost stories
I've seen seas divided
Lions silenced
Dead men rise and live
Ohh
Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Holy Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Come anoint Your people
Fill this temple
Spirit move again
With your Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Holy Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Ghost stories
Spirit move again
Up that mountain
(Yeah)
I felt the weight
You came down lighter
With the glow of glory on my face
The skies split open
And the fire rained
The priests of bail went running
When that altar set ablaze
Ghost stories
Holy Ghost stories
I've seen seas divided
Lions silenced
Dead men rise and live
Ohh
Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Holy Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Come anoint Your people
Fill this temple
Spirit move again
With your Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Ghost stories
Spirit move again
With your Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Ghost stories
Spirit move again
From a virgin's womb
To the empty tomb
Your spirit's always working
Your spirit's always working
Like the tongues of fire
In the upper room
Your spirit's always working
Your spirit's always working
From a virgin's womb
To the empty tomb
Your spirit's always working
Your spirit's always working
Like the tongues of fire
In the upper room
Your spirit's always working
Your spirit's always working
Ghost stories
Holy Ghost stories
I've seen seas divided
Lions silenced
Dead men rise and live
Ohh
Ghost stories
Holy Ghost stories
Come anoint Your people
Fill this temple
Spirit move again
With your Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Ghost stories
Spirit move again
With your Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Ghost stories
Spirit move again
Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Ghost stories (Holy, Holy)
Ghost stories
Spirit move again
