John Dreher - Spirit Of God Lyrics

Spirit of God presents a prayer of surrender, spiritual thirst, and openness to divine renewal. Images of refining fire, a springing well, wind, and overflowing life give the song a clear focus on the work of the Holy Spirit. Its repeated requests for God to arise and move turn the lyric into worship shaped by dependence rather than self-reliance. The welcome offered to the Spirit also reinforces the song’s atmosphere of reverence and expectancy.

The well imagery closely echoes Jesus’ description of living water in John 7, where the Gospel identifies that promise with the Spirit. The appeal for movement like the wind also recalls Jesus’ words about the Spirit in John 3. Together, these biblical images support the central plea: that God would refine surrendered hearts, reveal divine glory, and bring life that cannot be contained. Repetition gives the prayer a congregational character, allowing longing, surrender, and praise to remain at the center.
