Ruach

[Verse 1]
We see the Spirit in Genesis
He was hovering over waters
Limitless and infinite, fellowshipped with Son and Father
Ruach, breath of life, who brings our souls into existence
As long as there is life in me I owe it to the Spirit
He's the breather of wisdom
Who else can know the mind of the Father or the Scriptures He's given? No one
He breathed through the prophets that showed us Jesus
The Spirit of life and adoption, the One who frees us
Who else can take some dry bones and make them stand
Just by breathing? Don't say a man from these wayward lands
If even from my best comes the breath of death
Then who will have the last word when the dust is swept
Stone-cold hearts, guess we all need coffins
We've been stunned from the start, didn't call Steve Austin
You got air in your lungs? I'm just letting you know
That ain't enough, 'cause when that stops, you need breath in your soul

[Hook]
Holy Spirit, we need breath in our lungs
But even more, we need rest in the Son
'Cause if it's left up to us, Spirit, we are wretched, disgust
Dead souls, we need resurrection in us

Holy Spirit, we need breath in our lungs
But even more, we need rest in the Son
'Cause if it's left up to us, Spirit, we are wretched, disgust
Dead souls, we need resurrection in us

[Verse 2]
In our greatest infirmities, the Spirit is interceding so perfectly
Fervently, He's our comforter, not bed spreads but urges sleep
When life's woes attack, He's assisting urgently
Crying out "Abba, Father," reminding that Jesus purchased me
And through His work in me I can get through it, worshiping
Enabled by the Paraclete to make sure God has heard from me
I'm burgeoning and in His presence I am flourishing
Instead of worrying He's helping me disperse the screams
I see so many people searching, they want comfort
But when they find it in the earthly, it won't cover
The penalty of iniquity that can bring peace
Between the soul that is thirsty and the One who loved us
Enough to send the Son of God in the divine saga
To those who trust, He gives a straight line to the Father
He reminds us to seek and knock 'til we find solace
Sanctifying our souls with His divine polish

[Hook]
Holy Spirit, we need breath in our lungs
But even more, we need rest in the Son
'Cause if it's left up to us, Spirit, we are wretched, disgust
Dead souls, we need resurrection in us

Holy Spirit, we need breath in our lungs
But even more, we need rest in the Son
'Cause if it's left up to us, Spirit, we are wretched, disgust
Dead souls, we need resurrection in us

[Outro]
Ruach, I thank you, I thank you
Spirit, I thank you, I thank you
Ruach, I thank you, I thank you
Spirit, I thank you, I thank you
Ruach, I thank you, I thank you
Spirit, I thank you, I thank you
Ruach, I thank you, I thank you
Spirit, I thank you, I thank you
