Lyrics
You’ve been down long enough
No more walking in shame
Cause the way that He loves you
Isn’t something you can change
You’ve been running in circles
But you can’t hide from grace
Cause the way that He loves you
Isn’t something you can change
Just like Lazarus
Out of that grave
Our God rewrites history
Jesus, You change ev'rything
When You pour Your Spirit out
Just like Silas
Singing with Paul
Praise can break down prison walls
Jesus, You can have it all
Won’t You pour Your Spirit out
Pour Your Spirit out
Pour Your Spirit out
You can rest in His presence
You can trust in His name
Cause His burden is easy
And He’s perfect in His ways
You can run to the Father
There’s no reason to wait
Cause His arms have been open
That’s not something you can change
Just like Lazarus
Out of that grave
Our God rewrites history
Jesus, You change ev'rything
When You pour Your Spirit out
Just like Silas
Singing with Paul
Praise can break down prison walls
Jesus, You can have it all
Won’t You pour Your Spirit out
Just like Lazarus
Out of that grave
Our God rewrites history
Jesus, You change ev'rything
When You pour Your Spirit out
Just like Silas
Singing with Paul
Praise can break down prison walls
Jesus, You can have it all
Won’t You pour Your Spirit out
Pour Your Spirit out
Pour Your Spirit out
Pour Your Spirit out
Pour Your Spirit out
Pour Your Spirit out
Pour Your Spirit out
All we have to do is just
Ask, seek, knock
Watch the doors swing wide open
Roll back that stone
Roll back that stone
All we have to do is just
Ask, seek, knock
Watch the doors swing wide open
Roll back that stone
Roll back that stone
All we have to do is just
Ask, seek, knock
Watch the doors swing wide open
Roll back that stone
Roll back that stone
All we have to do is just
Ask, seek, knock
Watch the doors swing wide open
Roll back that stone
Roll back that stone
Just believe that it can happen
There’s a miracle right behind that stone
So roll back that stone
He’s been waiting
Can you hear it
He’s been knock, knock, knocking
Roll back that stone
Roll back that stone
Just like Lazarus
Out of that grave
Our God rewrites history
Jesus, You change ev'rything
When You pour Your Spirit out
Just like Silas
Singing with Paul
Praise can break down prison walls
Jesus, You can have it all
Won’t You pour Your Spirit out
Pour Your Spirit out
Pour Your Spirit out
Pour Your Spirit out
Pour Your Spirit out
Pour Your Spirit out
Pour Your Spirit out
Laying flat on my back
I was crippled by fear
Monthly panic attacks
For nineteen years
But the Lord gave me freedom
As I sat in my chair
In a church, I found healing
At the end of a prayer
So what do you call that
You can try to explain
You can tell me I’m crazy
But I'm the one He changed
What do you call that
You can say it's not real
I used to think this was crazy
But now I'm the one He healed
Just like Lazarus
Out of that grave
Our God rewrites history
Jesus, You change ev'rything
When You pour Your Spirit out
Just like Silas
Singing with Paul
Praise can break down prison walls
Jesus, You can have it all
Won’t You pour Your Spirit out
Just like Lazarus
Out of that grave
Our God rewrites history
Jesus, You change ev'rything
When You pour Your Spirit out
Just like Silas
Singing with Paul
Praise can break down prison walls
Jesus, You can have it all
Won’t You pour Your Spirit out
Just ask, seek, knock
Watch the doors swing wide open
Roll back that stone
Roll back that stone
All we have to do is just
Ask, seek, knock
Watch the doors swing wide open
Roll back that stone
Roll back that stone
Ask, seek, knock
Watch the doors swing wide open
Roll back that stone
Roll back that stone

Meaning & Inspiration
Pour Your Spirit Out brings together grace, freedom, prayer, and biblical scenes of deliverance. Its early verses reject shame and restless striving by emphasizing a love that does not change. The refrain recalls Lazarus leaving the grave and Paul and Silas praising God in prison, using both accounts to describe Jesus as the One who brings life and breaks confinement. The request for the Spirit to be poured out gives those images the shape of expectant worship.
The lyric also draws directly on Christ’s invitation to ask, seek, and knock. Repeated calls to roll back the stone connect persistent prayer with hope that God can open what appears closed, while the later personal testimony describes freedom from fear and healing after prayer. These claims are presented as lived confession rather than a formula guaranteeing a particular result. Across its repeated sections, the central emphasis remains God’s ability to change lives, the open welcome of the Father, and praise offered while waiting for His help.
