Lyrics
Holy Spirit break us
Come and overtake us
You're the one we're living for
Holy Spirit lead us
To the heart of Jesus
There is nothing we want more
Teach us how to live beyond ourselves
Let everything we say and do
Bring glory to Your name and bless Your heart
God Show us how to love like You
Strip away my pride and selfishness
Take me back to my first love
Falling on my knees, now I confess
You will always be enough
We want more (x4)
I decrease
As You increase
It's all about you
It's not about me

Meaning & Inspiration
“More, Holy Spirit” is a prayer for inward renewal that leads to outward obedience. The opening asks the Holy Spirit to overtake and lead, but the desired destination is clearly the life and character of Jesus. The song therefore connects spiritual longing with transformed conduct: speech, action, love, and humility are all placed under God’s direction.
Its confession of pride and selfishness gives the prayer a penitential dimension. Kneeling and returning to first love express dependence rather than self-improvement, while the repeated desire for “more” seeks a greater place for God rather than greater prominence for the singer. The closing words, “I decrease / As You increase,” directly echo John 3:30. The appeal to love as God loves also aligns with Ephesians 5:1-2, which calls believers to imitate God and walk in love. Together, these themes frame the Holy Spirit’s work as Christ-centered surrender, restored devotion, and a life that brings glory to God.
