Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Holy Ghost, fall down on me
Let Your spirit fall down on me
Holy Ghost, fall down on me
Let Your spirit fall down on me

Create in me a new heart, oh God
And renew a right spirit within me
Cast me not away from thy presence, oh God

Take not thy Holy Spirit from me

Holy Ghost, fall down on me
Let Your spirit fall down on me
Holy Ghost, fall down on me
Let Your spirit fall down on me

Holy Spirit help me to walk right
Talk right, live right, help me to be right
I'll never do anything without
Your leading spirit, Holy Spirit

Cast me not from thy presence, oh Lord
Take not Your spirit
Take not Your spirit from me
Take not Your spirit from me
Take not Your spirit from me

Holy Ghost, fall down
Lord, fall on me
Holy Ghost, fall down
Lord, fall on me

Me, I need You to fall fresh on me
Send a fresh wind, let it fall on me
I need You to fall on me
A fresh wind, a new touch

Oh, I need You to reign down Your presence on me
Oh, me I need a touch from Thee

Fall fresh on me
Drench me in Your Spirit, oh
