Darlene Zschech and Dustin Smith's song "Spirit of the Living God" is a worship anthem inviting the Holy Spirit to move powerfully in the believer's life. The lyrics use vivid imagery like wind, dove, river, flood, oil, rain, and fire to describe the Spirit's presence and work. The song emphasizes making room for God's will and expresses a deep longing for His nearness and presence above all else. It concludes with a declaration that every nation, tribe, and tongue needs God, reinforcing the universal call for His Spirit to fall afresh.

Spirit of the living God
Come fall afresh on me
Spirit of the living God
Come fall afresh on me
Spirit of the living God
Come fall afresh on me
Spirit of the living God
Come fall afresh on me
Like the winds, like a dove
Like a river, like a flood
Holy spirit, you are welcome here
Come like oil, come like rain
Like fire set ablaze
Holy Spirit, come and have your way
Holy Spirit, come and have your way
Spirit of the living God
Come breathe new life in me
Spirit of the living God
Come breathe new life in me
Like a flame that you speak
Like strength for the weak
Holy Spirit you are welcome here
You're a witness, you're a friend
My peace without end
Holy Spirit, come and have your way
Holy Spirit, come and have your way
We make room for you
Do what you want to do
We make space for you
To move how you want to move
We make room for you
Do what you want to do
We make space for you
Move how you want to move
We make room for you
To do what you want to do
We make space for you
To move how you want to move
We make room for you
To do what you want to do
We make space for you
To move how you want to move
Every nation tribe and tongue
We need you God
We need you God
Your nearness is all I'm after
Your presence is all I live for
Your nearness is all I'm after
Your presence is all I live for
Your nearness is all I'm after
Your presence is all I live for
We make room for you
Do what you want to do
We make space for you
Move how you want to move
We make room for you
Do what you want to do
We make space for you
Move how you want to move
Spirit of the living God
Come fall afresh on me
Spirit of the living God
Come fall afresh on me
