Lyrics
Esprit de Dieu Souffle
Souffle des quatre vents
Nous t'attendons
Souffle Esprit de Dieu
Embrase ton Eglise
Révèle nous le vrai
Souffle Esprit de Dieu
Nous avons besoin de Toi
Ce que l'oeil na point vu
L'oreille n'a pas entendu
Esprit Tu le sais
Oui Tu le sais
Ce qui est réservé par Dieu pour tous ceux qui l'aiment
Esprit Tu le sais
Oui Tu le sais
Alors Souffle
Souffle dans Ton Eglise
Esprit révèle
Révèle le Coeur de Dieu
Oh Oui souffle Esprit de Dieu
Des quatre vents
Nous t'attendons
Souffle, souffle dans Ton Eglise
Esprit révèle, rèvèle le Coeur de Dieu.

Meaning & Inspiration
Souffle is a prayer for the Spirit of God to move through the Church. Its repeated call for breath from the four winds gives the song an atmosphere of expectation, while the plea to set the Church aflame expresses a desire for renewal rather than spectacle. The Spirit is asked to reveal truth, disclose the heart of God, and make known what remains beyond ordinary sight and hearing. Dependence is explicit in the confession that the Church needs the Spirit.
Two biblical echoes shape the lyric with particular clarity. The appeal to the four winds recalls Ezekiel 37:9, where breath is summoned so that the lifeless may live. The words about what no eye has seen and no ear has heard draw from 1 Corinthians 2:9-10, which continues by saying that God reveals such things through the Spirit. Together, these images connect spiritual renewal with revelation: divine breath brings life, and the Spirit makes known what comes from God.
