Breathe upon Us, Lord From Heaven
"He breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost." - John 20:22
VERSE 1
Breathe upon us, Lord from heaven,
Fill us with the Holy Ghost,
Promise of the Father given,
Send us now a Pentecost.
CHORUS
Breath upon us, breathe upon us,
With Thy love our hearts inspire;
Breathe upon us, breathe upon us,
Lord, baptize us now with fire.
VERSE 2
While the Spirit hover o'er us,
Open all our hearts, we pray;
To Thine image, Lord, restore us,
Witness in our souls today.
CHORUS
Breath upon us, breathe upon us,
With Thy love our hearts inspire;
Breathe upon us, breathe upon us,
Lord, baptize us now with fire.
VERSE 3
From all sin grant us exemption,
Wash us in the cleansing flood;
Let us know the full redemption
Purchased for us by the blood.
CHORUS
Breath upon us, breathe upon us,
With Thy love our hearts inspire;
Breathe upon us, breathe upon us,
Lord, baptize us now with fire.
VERSE 4
Lift us, Lord, Oh lift us higher,
From the carnal mind set free;
Fill us with refining fire,
Give us perfect liberty.
CHORUS
Breath upon us, breathe upon us,
With Thy love our hearts inspire;
Breathe upon us, breathe upon us,
Lord, baptize us now with fire.
