THEME: Calling on the Spirit of God is God-glorifying. And it is counter-intuitive, because the natural man says, "I'll do it myself, thank you." Ultimately, the Holy Spirit intervening is our only hope of lasting change.
Holy Spirit, source of gladness
Chase away the clouds, come flood our souls with light
Zeal is lagging, fervor lacking
It's in you alone we find delight
Great illuminating Spirit, give us joy instead of fear
Rest upon this congregation as you've promised, now draw near
SPIRIT, WE'RE HELPLESS WITHOUT YOU
WORK HERE IN US WHAT ONLY GOD CAN DO
Send a shower down upon us
That refreshing rain on which our souls depend
Now reviving, now restoring
Life that only you alone can send
Hear our heartfelt supplication, every struggling heart release
Rest upon this congregation, calm our fears and bring us peace
SPIRIT, WE'RE HELPLESS WITHOUT YOU
WORK HERE IN US WHAT ONLY GOD CAN DO
Holy Spirit sent from heaven
Now we look to you to heap us pray aright
Turn our groanings into glory
Lead us all the way by faith, not sight
In our weakness interceding, take our pleadings to the throne
Pierce the realms of highest heaven, till the Father's will be known
SPIRIT, WE'RE HELPLESS WITHOUT YOU
WORK HERE IN US WHAT ONLY GOD CAN DO
