And the Spirit Sings

Lyrics

Familiar and comfortable Religious tradition descends No closer to God at the first Than they are at the end Expected experiences Just as the bulletin said Doctrin'lly pure But the words were all empty and dead And the Spirit grieves And the Spirit grieves You can tell its professional As soon as the service begins It really is somethin' to see And they're packin' 'em in Exciting performances in music And gesture and word Emotions are high But beneath it all, nothing is stirred And the Spirit grieves And the Spirit grieves You feel like you're home When you walk through the living room door Surrounded by friends that you love That you've been waiting for No leader is seen But still people give voice as they're shown All bringing the gifts That the Spirit has given His own Then led by the Master Himself Into worship and praise The Shekinah descends And enfolds every heart that is raised And the Spirit sings And the love of Jesus heals and flows New life is born And truth is preached and heard and known And the Spirit sings And joy explodes around the throne And the Spirit sings And the Spirit sings And the Spirit sings And the Spirit sings And the Spirit sings
