Lyrics

Precious holy spirit 
Blow a fresh on us 
Fill us up oh God 
To an overflow 
Consuming fire 
Burn within us now 
Ignite our hearts with love 
Til it overflows  .


Precious holy spirit 
Blow a fresh on us 
Fill us up oh God 
To an overflow 
Consuming fire 
Burn within us now 
Ignite our hearts with love 
Til it overflows  .


We thirst for you oh God
Let it rain on us
Pour it out on us
Till it overflows  .


We thirst for you oh God
Let it rain on us
Pour it out on us
Till it overflows

Meaning & Inspiration

“Overflow” centers on a prayer for the Holy Spirit to fill God’s people beyond capacity. Images of fresh wind, consuming fire, rain, thirst, and overflowing love give the song a sustained language of spiritual renewal. The repeated requests remain focused on God’s presence rather than personal achievement, while the desire for hearts to be ignited presents worship as a response shaped by divine love.

The imagery closely echoes biblical passages about receiving the Holy Spirit and experiencing God’s love poured into human hearts. Its language of thirst also recalls Christ’s invitation for the thirsty to come and drink. Together, these themes frame the song as a communal plea for renewal, cleansing, and abundance. Repetition reinforces dependence on God: the worshippers ask to be filled, revived, and made capable of carrying love beyond themselves. The central confession is simple and consistent—lasting spiritual fullness comes from God’s Spirit.
