(feat. Maddison Serban)
VERSE 1
Where we?ve let a good performance
Take the place of honest praise
And forgotten our first love along the way
Where we?ve let our good intentions
Distract us from Your heart
Forgive us, forgive us
CHORUS
Come Holy Spirit, fill us again
This means nothing if we don?t have You
Don?t let us settle for anything less
This means nothing if we don?t have You
We have nothing if we don?t have You
VERSE 2
Where we?ve built our earthly kingdoms
Instead of building Yours
Your presence is the treasure we long for
Where we?ve lived like we?re just servants
When we?re Your daughters and Your sons
Forgive us, oh forgive us
BRIDGE
All we want to be is your vessel
So come fill us up, come fill us up
Once you?ve started pouring it out
Don't ever stop
Don?t ever stop
If We Don't Have You by Bede Benjamin-Korporaal, Jessie Early & Josiah Funderburk

The song calls for the Spirit to fill believers again, making them vessels for His work. It reflects a deep longing for God's presence above all else, echoing themes of surrender and dependence on Him.
