The Spirit of the Lord

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
Because the Lord our God has anointed me
To bring the good news to the afflicted,
Bind up the hearts of those who are broken;
To proclaim liberty to those who are bound.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
To proclaim that God is here, to set hearts on fire,
To comfort the lost and all those in sorrow,
To bring them great joy and strengthen their spirits;
And in praise we will raise our voices to God.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
To proclaim that God is just and will set us free;
Will raise up the poor and honour the humble;
True to the promise, will live with all people.
I will dance, I will sing, for great is the Lord!

The Spirit of the Lord,
The Spirit of the Lord moves on the face of the earth
Loving, warming, shaping.
The Spirit of the Lord,
The Spirit of the Lord moves through me.
