Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flood all the emptiness with You
Lord I long to be consumed
And I'm calling for a flood
So flood every chamber of my heart
Flood what I lack with all You are
I am dry and I am parched
I am calling for a flood
Holy spirit fall completely immerse me in you
I'm longing for a flood
A holiness to wash me now
Hear me Lord I'm calling for a flood
Now flood every coner of my mind
And flood everything i'm trying to hide
I'm looking to the sky
And calling for a flood
I am calling for a flood
Holy spirit fall completely immerse me in you
I'm longing for a flood
A holiness to wash me now
Hear me Lord I'm calling for a flood
Submerge me in You in Holy water
Enthralled me to live in you
And flood every corner of this room
And fill all the emptiness with You
Lord we long to be consumed
And we're calling for a flood
We are calling for a flood
Holy spirit fall completely immerse us in You
We're longing for a flood
A holiness to wash us now
Hear us Lord we're calling for
Holiness
We call upon Holiness
So flood this place with holiness
You are holy
Lord immerse us in your
Holiness
We call upon Holiness
So flood this place with holiness
You are holy
Hear us lord we're calling for a flood
We're calling for a flood
Hear us lord we're calling for a flood
