This song is a poetic reflection on the presence and power of the Holy Spirit throughout the story of creation, redemption, and personal transformation. It begins by affirming that God’s Spirit was present at the beginning of time, creating the world and humanity to live in friendship and closeness with Him. When sin disrupted creation, God sent a flood, and the dove—a symbol of the Spirit—reappears, ultimately finding its true resting place in Jesus Christ, the one who redeems and reconnects us to God. The chorus expresses a deep longing for more of the Holy Spirit, who is described as truth, living water, helper, and healer. The bridge calls on the Spirit to move powerfully, like at Pentecost, igniting hearts with divine fire. The final verse emphasizes that the Holy Spirit is a gift of grace, made possible through Jesus' sacrifice, and now the Spirit dwells in believers, resting upon 'the Christ in me', signifying our union with Christ and the Spirit’s ongoing work within us.
VERSE 1 God was there at the beginning His Spirit brooding like a dove Spoke the earth into existence Formed creation that He loved Man was born of perfect image Made to be a friend of God Meant to dwell within His presence Yeah it’s where we all belong
CHORUS Holy Spirit, all we need is more of you We want more of You
VERSE 2 When sin had spoiled creation The creator sent a flood On the cusp of new beginning He again released the dove And after all the searching It found a place to land On Christ the perfect son Who would redeem it all again Looking for the branches it landed on the vine The one for our redemption Who would bridge eternal life
CHORUS Holy Spirit, the truth the living water All we need is more of you, we want more of you Holy Spirit, the helper and the healer All we need is more of you, we want more of you
BRIDGE Let this be an upper room Light the flame we burn for You Holy Holy Holy Spirit Like a mighty rushing wind Pour Your spirit out again Holy Holy Holy Spirit
VERSE 3 It is not by my own earning To have the helper at my side The gift was fully purchased When the lamb was crucified So now freely I can ask Him For His blood has washed me clean Let the dove of heaven rest upon the Christ in me
TAG Let the dove of heaven rest upon The Christ in me Holy Spirit come and rest upon The Christ in me
