Lyrics
There is a spirit Flowing 'round me,
Flowing with me,
Flowing in me
It's the spirit, holy spirit of life and love,
Just like a river
Moving onward, moving boldly, moving surely.
Holy spirit, the blessed spirit of life and love,
of life and love.
I feel its power Ever changing
Ever lifting, Ever growing.
It's the spirit, holy spirit of life and love,
Just like a fountain
Bringing justice, bringing healing, bringing peace
Holy spirit, transforming spirit of life and love,
of life and love.
Now let it guide me,
Teaching patience,
Teaching mercy, Teaching wisdom.
It's the spirit, holy spirit of life and love,
Just like a circle
Always holding, always dancing, always singing.
Holy spirit, the gentle spirit of life and love,
of life and love.
