Lyrics
Listen to the windward
It's blowing through the Church
Whispering the promise
The king will return
The hour is approaching eternity awaits
keep the lambs burning
Keep the love aflame
Oooh Jesus You're coming soon
Oooh make us ready for You
Let earth in heaven prepare the way
The spirit and the bride say come
The spirit and the bride say come
In every heart let Your kingdom reign
Every heart awakens strength in what remains
Turn Your heart to heaven, no one knows the day
Oooh Jesus You're coming soon
Oooh make us ready for You
Let earth in heaven prepare the way
The spirit and the bride say come
The spirit and the bride say come
In every heart let Your kingdom reign
People get ready Jesus is coming soon
People get ready He will make all things new
Come and lift Your eyes up
Praise Him now with one voice
Let's welcome Him with thanksgiving and shouts of rejoice
People get ready Jesus is coming soon
People get ready He will make all things new
Come and lift Your eyes up
Praise Him now with one voice
Let's welcome Him with thanksgiving and shouts of rejoice
Let earth in heaven prepare the way
The spirit and the bride say come
The spirit and the bride say come
In every heart let Your kingdom reign

Meaning & Inspiration
"Spirit And The Bride" is a wakeful prayer centered on Christ's promised return. The wind, burning lamps, and approaching hour create a sense of readiness rather than speculation. The refrain draws directly on the closing invitation of Revelation: the Spirit and the bride call on the Lord to come. The desire for God's kingdom to reign in every heart keeps that expectation connected to present devotion.
The song also echoes Jesus' parable of the wise bridesmaids. Its call to keep the lamps burning places faithfulness, prayer, and praise at the center of waiting. The bridge expands the vision from private readiniess to a community welcome, celebrating the one who makes all things new. Hope is therefore expressed as active worship while the church awaits Christ.
