"Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit." ~ Ephesians 5:18

lyrics

Hover o’er me, Holy Spirit;
Bathe my trembling heart and brow.
Fill me with Thy hallowed presence;
Come, O come, and fill me now!

Refrain
Fill me now; fill me now;
Jesus come, and fill me now!
Fill me with Thy hallowed presence;
Come, O come, and fill me now!

Thou can fill me, gracious Spirit,
Though I cannot tell Thee how.
But I need Thee, greatly need Thee;
Come, O come, and fill me now!

~~~~~Refrain~~~~~

Humbly now, I ask for power;
At Thy sacred feet, I bow.
Blest, divine, eternal Spirit,
Fill with power, and fill me now!

~~~~~Refrain~~~~~

Cleanse and comfort, bless and save me;
Bathe, O bathe my heart and brow.
Thou art comforting, and saving;
Thou art sweetly filling now!

~~~~~Refrain~~~~~
