about

This is the second time I've recorded this song. The producer wanted to try it with more of a lite jazz feel. He left off my acoustic guitar track which gave this version a completely different flavor. I feel like this song was originally inspired by the Holy Spirit.

lyrics

Sweet Holy Spirit

Verse 1
Father in heaven
You’re the one my heart seeks after
Like the deer pants for the water,
So my soul pants after You
I stand here before You
Just to worship and adore You
For You alone are holy
And worthy of all praise

Verse 2
Jesus my Brother,
My Lord and my Messiah
My one life’s ambition
Is to know You as You are
Your blood makes me righteous
Let me grow up in Your likeness
That all may glorify You
And proclaim that You are King

Verse 3
Sweet Holy Spirit
Come and fill Your temple
We desire Your presence
With all of our hearts
Move now among us
Let Your holy fire consume us
Till all self is forsaken
And we love the world no more
