Lord, I'm desperate for a holy change
Tired of a stagnant faith
I need You
I need You
I need You
Lord, I know there's more to who You are
I don't want a closed off heart
I need You
I need You
I need You
To breathe on it
Holy Spirit breathe on it
God, I need an Acts 2 rushing wind
Something's gotta come alive again
Every time you breathe on it
I can feel your fire fallin'
Ain't no shackle You're not breaking loose
Anything can change when You
Breathe on it
Lord, send the promise down I'm ready
The cloud over Your church looks heavy
We need You
We need You
We need You
This city needs You
My neighbor needs You
Our children need You
God, my family needs You
To breathe on it
Holy Spirit breathe on it
God, I need an Acts 2 rushing wind
Something's gotta come alive again
Every time you breathe on it
I can feel your fire fallin'
Ain't no shackle You're not breaking loose
Anything can change when You
Breathe on it
Like a breath in the garden
Breathe Your life into our lungs
Spirit, we hear You prophesy
Come alive
Come alive
To the bones in the valley
To the dreams that are dead and gone
Spirit, we hear You prophesy
Come alive
Come alive
To every Lazarus
That's been buried for too long
Spirit, we hear You prophesy
Come alive
Come alive
There's a wind from the Heavens
And it's rolling the gravestones
Spirit, we hear You prophesy
Come alive
Come alive
Come alive
Come alive
Come alive
To breathe on it
Holy Spirit breathe on it
God, I need an Acts 2 rushing wind
Something's gotta come alive again
Every time you breathe on it
I can feel your fire fallin'
Ain't no shackle You're not breaking loose
Anything can change when You
Breathe on it
Breathe on it
Breathe on it
Oh, come and bring Your Peace
Oh, come and bring Your freedom
Breathe on it
