Meaning & Inspiration
Holy Ghost is a prayer for the Spirit to fall fresh on the singer. The chorus repeats the request, Holy Ghost fall down on me, and the verse borrows from Psalm 51 by asking for a new heart, a renewed right spirit, and not to be cast away or have the Holy Spirit taken. The second verse asks for help to walk right, talk right and live right, doing nothing without the Spirit's leading.
The bridge repeats the request not to be cast from His presence and not to lose His Spirit, and the vamp asks for a fresh wind and drenching in the Spirit. The prayer follows Psalm 51:10-11, Luke 11:13, Galatians 5:25 and Acts 2:17. Passionate and repetitive, the song leaves space for a vocalist and congregation to keep asking.
