1.

God the Lord has poured out His Spirit!
We can now know His pow’r and might.
And in weakness it is perfected.
Those who fear Him receive this light.
When this Spirit came o’er Samson,
He broke free from every band.
Also Joshua and Caleb
By this Spirit possessed the land.

Chorus:

A true covenant with Jesus
A sweet savor is to Him.
We will heed no other voices,
Just His quiet voice within.

2.

God the Lord has poured out His Spirit!
We’ll Christ’s love in our hearts possess.
When we follow Him in obedience,
Naught can stop us as we progress.
We partake of Jesus’ suff ’rings;
How our hearts rejoice within!
As we learn to war and battle,
We are truly set free from sin.

3.

God the Lord has poured out His Spirit!
O stand boldly before His face!
In this world Jesus was triumphant.
To the humble He gives His grace.
Let the Spirit drive you forward;
As a lamb for slaughter be,
So that sin’s consumed completely.
Then to serve you are truly free.

4.

Come and drink of this heav’nly Spirit!
Yes, be filled with God’s fire and zeal!
Take good heed to yourself and doctrine.
He’ll Christ’s likeness in you reveal.
Be preserved in this same Spirit,
Now and ever, firm and sure.
Soon you’ll stand with those who’ve conquered,
Who’ve the good fight of faith endured.
