As the Spirit was moving over the waters
Spirit, come move over us
Come rest on us
Come rest on us
As the Spirit was moving over the waters
Spirit, come move over us
Come rest on us
Come rest on us

Come down
Spirit, when You move You make my heart pound
When You fill the room
You're here and I know You are moving
I'm here and I know You will fill me
Come down
Spirit, when You move You make my heart pound
When You fill the room
You're here and I know You are moving
I'm here and I know You will fill me
We honor You, Holy Spirit

Fire and wind, come and do it again
Open up the gates, let heaven on in
Come rest on us
Come rest on us
And fire and wind, come and do it again
Open up the gates, let heaven on in
Come rest on us
Come rest on us

And come down
Spirit, when You move You make my heart pound
When You fill the room
You're here and I know You are moving
I'm here and I know You will fill me
Come down
Spirit, when You move You make my heart pound
When You fill the room
You're here and I know You are moving
I'm here and I know You will fill me

Oh, we wait, we wait
We honor You

Holy Spirit, come rest on us
You're all we want
You're all we want
Holy Spirit, come rest on us
You're all we want
You're all we want
Holy Spirit, come rest on us
You're all we want
You're all we want
Holy Spirit, come rest on us
You're all we want
You're all we want

So come down
Spirit, when You move You make my heart pound
When You fill this room
You're here and I know You are moving
I'm here and I know You will fill me
Come down
Spirit, when You move You make my heart pound
When You fill the room
You're here and I know You are moving
I'm here and I know You will fill me
Come down
Spirit, when You move You make my heart pound
When You fill the room
You're here and I know You are moving
I'm here and I know You will fill me

Holy Spirit, come rest on us
You're all we want
You're all we want
Holy Spirit, come rest on us
You're all we want
You're all we want
Holy Spirit, come rest on us
You're all we want
You're all we want
Holy Spirit, come rest on us
You're all we want
You're all we want
