J.J. Hairston - Spirit of The Living God Lyrics

"Spirit of the Living God" opens with direct address to the Holy Spirit, affirming both presence and power in a single repeated declaration before naming specific requests, healing, deliverance, filling, and change. That structure moves quickly from acknowledgment to petition, treating affirmation of the Spirit's presence as the basis for asking for specific transformation.

Its second half repeats the same opening declaration before shifting its requested actions, asking the Spirit to rest, to empower, to work through, and to reveal, expanding the earlier list of personal needs into a broader posture of surrendered availability. Naming Jesus as King in the final line ties that request for the Spirit's work directly back to Christ's authority.

Rooted in classic worship-chorus tradition invoking the Holy Spirit's manifest presence, the song functions as a brief, repeated invitation for the Spirit to act, its two parallel verses building from personal need toward surrendered readiness for wider work.
