The lyrics express deep dependence on God, acknowledging human weakness and the need for divine guidance in every aspect of life. The song emphasizes that without the Spirit, one cannot walk rightly or live purposefully.

We're all gathered here in your presence, Lord,
With our arms open wide.
With lifted hands and with open hearts
We welcome you to abide!
Oh, Lord, we need your spirit,
Your holy spirit right now.
Oh, Lord, give us your spirit,
Your holy spirit right now.
We can do nothing until you come, dear Lord,
For we are so unworthy to even call on your name.
So please, please, please, please, please, Lord, hear our prayer
And don't let our coming be in vain!
Oh, Lord, we need your spirit,
Your holy spirit right now.
Oh, Lord, give us your spirit,
Your holy spirit right now.
Spirit, holy spirit, fall fresh on me.
Spirit, holy spirit, fall fresh on me.
Fall down, fall down, fall fresh on me.
Fall down, fall down, I need you, Lord.
Fall fresh on me.
Spirit, spirit of the living god.
Spirit, holy spirit, fall fresh on me.
Hallelujah!
Spirit, holy spirit, fall fresh on me.
I can't make it without you.
I need you, I need you
So I can walk right,
so I can talk right.
Spirit, holy spirit, fall fresh on me.
Holy spirit, holy spirit,
I need you to abide in me,
In everything I do,
Everything I say, Lord.
I need you in my home.
Hallelujah
And even when I'm riding down the dangerous highways
yes, Lord
I need you, I need you.
Fall down, fall down, fall fresh on me.
yes, Lord
Fall down. Hallelujah. Fall down, fall fresh on me.
I need you, Lord, everyday.
Spirit, spirit, fall fresh on me.
I can't make it without you, Lord.
Can't make it without you.
Spirit, spirit, fall fresh on me.
I believe in God
Yeah Lord! Yeah Lord!
I don't want my running to be in vain.
I don't want my living to be in vain.
I need you, Lord.
I need, Jesus.
I need you, Lord.
