Pour Your Spirit Out 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 


Pour Your Spirit Out

Pour Your Spirit Out Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration

Released on September 24, 2021, Thrive Worship’s song "Pour Your Spirit Out" arrives as a heartfelt anthem echoing a deep spiritual hunger familiar to believers across generations. This track isn't just a collection of notes and words; it's a prayer set to music, capturing a yearning for God's manifest presence and power in a world that desperately needs divine intervention. The song’s core message is a passionate plea for God to fulfill the ancient promises concerning the Holy Spirit, bringing life, transformation, and revival. It taps into a fundamental desire for more of God than we have experienced, acknowledging that while His Spirit indwells every believer (1 Corinthians 6:19), there is also a dimension of corporate outpouring and fresh infilling that we are called to actively seek and anticipate.

The song effectively communicates this longing through its musical structure and lyrical focus. There's a sense of build and anticipation in the arrangement, mirroring the expectation expressed in the words. The instrumentation often feels expansive, creating space for the vastness of God's Spirit being invited in. It avoids complex metaphors, opting for direct, accessible language that speaks to the soul's cry for spiritual renewal. The central theme is clearly derived from powerful biblical imagery, particularly the promise found in Joel 2:28-29, where God declares, "I will pour out my Spirit on all people," and echoed in Acts 2:17-18 when Peter explains the miraculous events at Pentecost. This song takes that historic promise and makes it a present-day prayer, a declaration of faith that God is still in the business of pouring out His life-giving presence on His people.

Digging deeper into the lyrical content reveals layers of biblical truth woven throughout. The idea of 'pouring out' connects not only to Pentecost but also to the imagery of living water (John 7:38), representing the Spirit's life-giving flow that satisfies spiritual thirst. The song evokes a sense of desperation, a holy dissatisfaction with the status quo, which aligns with Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5:6, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." It's a bold invitation for God to flood dry places, both personally and corporately, much like the vision of restoration in Ezekiel 36:26-27 where God promises a new heart and a new spirit, putting His Spirit within His people. The song functions as a corporate expression of this longing, a collective turning towards heaven saying, "We are ready; we are waiting; we need You."

The power of "Pour Your Spirit Out" lies in its ability to stir up faith and expectation. It’s a musical catalyst for prayer, encouraging people to move beyond passive belief to active anticipation of God's work. It reminds us that the God who acted powerfully in the past is the same God who is present and active today, ready to fill those who ask (Luke 11:13). The song calls for a revival, not just as a historical event, but as a present reality – a fresh impartation of divine energy, courage, and transformation. This aligns with the ongoing work of the Spirit described throughout the New Testament, empowering believers for service (Acts 1:8), guiding into truth (John 16:13), and producing fruit in our lives (Galatians 5:22-23). Thrive Worship has crafted a song that doesn't just report on biblical truth but invites us to step into the promises ourselves, making the ancient prayer for God's outpouring our own. It’s a powerful reminder that our greatest need is more of Him, and He is eager to give.
