Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My mind, it longs for Thee
My soul, it knows what it needs
That Your Spirit would move in me
That Your presence would bonded be

I′ve encountered the Spirit
Felt the love of the Father
Found my life in the Savior

And it changed me forever
And I've encountered the goodness
Felt the truth and the power
Oh, I′ve been saved by Jesus
And I will praise Him forever

My heart to you I bring
My hope, it holds on to see
That Your Spirit would move in me
That Your presence would bonded be

I've encountered the Spirit
Felt the love of the Father
Found my life in the Savior
And it changed me forever
And I've encountered the goodness
Felt the truth and the power
Oh, I′ve been saved by Jesus
And I will praise Him forever

No weapon formed against me
Shall prosper, Lord just lead me
Your goodness, Your mercy
They will follow, Lord just lead me
No weapon formed against me
Shall prosper, Lord just lead me
And Your goodness, Your mercy
They will follow, Lord just lead me
No weapon formed against me
Shall prosper, Lord just lead me
And Your goodness, Your mercy
They will follow, Lord just lead me
No weapon formed against me
Shall prosper, Lord just lead me

And Your goodness, Your mercy
They will follow, Lord just lead
