Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thankful that You've washed my sins away
Knowing that it's love that brought me to Your side
I feel Your Spirit in my heart
Drawing me so ever close to You
Longing for the touch of You upon my life
But it's by the Spirit of the Lord
Fill me now Holy One
Fill me to overflowing
Touch me now Worthy One
Your Power keeps me going
Breathe on me breath of life
I need You to fill me over
Come and breathe on me
