God was there at the beginning
His spirit brooding like a dove
Spoke the earth into existence
Formed creation that He loved
Man was born of perfect image
Made to be a friend of God
Meant to dwell within His presence
Yeah it?s where we all belong
Holy spirit
All we need is more of You
We want more of You
Holy spirit
All we need is more of You
We want more of You
When sin had spoiled creation
The creator sent a flood
On the cusp of new beginning
He again released the dove
And after all the searching
It found a place to land
On Christ the perfect son
Who would redeem it all again
Looking for the branches
It landed on the vine
The one for our redemption
Who would bridge eternal life
Holy spirit
The truth
The living water
All we need is more of You
We want more of You
Holy spirit
The helper and the healer
All we need is more of You
We want more of You
Let this be an upper room
Light the flame we burn for You
Holy holy holy spirit
Like a mighty rushing wind
Pour your spirit out again
Holy holy holy spirit
It is not by my own earning
To have the Helper at my side
The gift was fully purchased
When the lamb was crucified
So now freely I can ask Him
For His blood has washed me clean
Let the dove of heaven rest
Upon the Christ in me
Let the dove of heaven rest
Upon the Christ in me
Holy spirit come and rest upon
The Christ in me

Passion and Kari Jobe's song 'The Dove' reflects on the Holy Spirit's presence throughout biblical history, from creation to redemption. The lyrics trace the Spirit's work, depicted as a dove, from the beginning when God spoke the earth into existence, through the flood and the coming of Christ, to the believer's life today. The song emphasizes that the Holy Spirit is the helper, healer, and living water, and that believers can freely ask for His presence because of Christ's sacrifice. It calls for a fresh outpouring of the Spirit, inviting Him to rest upon the Christ within us.
