Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The day that you hear my voice, harden not your heart
This is all that God is saying to you
Let me come here now abide in you
Lord, let your spirit fall on me
Lord, let your spirit fall on me, let it fall on me
As I go on my way from day to dayLord, let your spirit fall on me
Please, Jesus, hallelujah
Lord, keep your hands on me, if you will so, Lord
Lord, keep your hands on me
Lord, fall on me, let your spirit move in me
Lord, keep your hands on me
Now, Lord, how can I forget all the things, that you have done for me
One day you shook my dungeon and you set me free
Now that my heart is fixed and I got a made up mind
I'm ready to shout about it because you're with me all the time
Lord, walk in front of me and hold my hand
Lord, let your spirit lead me
Lord, let your spirit fall on me, Jesus
Lord, let your spirit fall on me
As I go on my way from day to day
Lord, let your spirit lead me
So much confusion all over the land, yes, it is
So many things, that I just can't understand
Now, Lord, you told us in your word, if we hold on to your handThat you'll lead us day by day and you'll brighten up our way
The Lord just walkin' in front of me, I know that know I won't stray
Lord, keep your hands on me
Keep your hands on me
Keep your hands on me, Jesus
If you keep your hand on me, I know I can walk right
If you keep your hand on me, Jesus,
I'll tell everybody that you did it
If you walk with me, Jesus, oh Lord
Let your spirit fall on me
Lord, let your spirit fall on me
Keep your hands on me, let it fall on me, Jesus
Not only me but, Lord, somebody else needs your love
Some mother needs your love, let it fall on me
Jesus, we're waiting on you
Jesus, we need you
Let it fall on me, Lord
Jesus said, "The spirit of the Lord is upon me
You have anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor
You have sent me to heal the brokenhearted
To recover the sights of the blind
To set at liberty them that are bruised
And to preach the acceptable year unto the Lord"
All he's saying to you right now is,
he wants to fall on you, fall on you
Let it fall on me, Lord, let it fall, let it fall on me, Jesus
We need you right now, Jesus
Somebody in the hospital, they need you right now, Jesus
Somebody behind the jail cells, they need you right now
