Lyrics
Nothing I hold onto
[Verse 1]
I lean not on my own understanding
My life is in the hands of the Maker of Heaven
[Chorus]
I give it all to You, God Trusting that You'll make
Something beautiful out of me
[Bridge]
I will climb this mountain with my hands wide open.
[Outro]
There's nothing I hold onto
Spirit of living God
[Verse 1]
Spirit of the living God, Spirit of the living God
We only want to hear Your voice
We're hanging on every word
Spirit of the living God, Spirit of the living God
We want to know You more and more
We're hanging on every word
Spirit of the living God, Spirit of the living God
We only want to hear Your voice
We're hanging on every word
Spirit of the living God
Spirit of the living God
We want to know You more and more
We're hanging on every word
[Chorus]
'Cause when You speak, when You move
When You do what only You can do
It changes us
It changes what we see and what we seek
When You come in the room
When You do what only You can do
It changes us
It changes what we see and what we seek
You're changing everything
[Verse 2]
Spirit of the living God
Spirit of the living God
We're leaning in to all You are
Everything else can wait
Spirit of the living God
Spirit of the living God
Come now and breathe upon our hearts
Come now and have Your way
[Bridge]
When You move, You move all our fears
When You move, You move us to tears
When You fall, we fall on our knees
When You fall, we fall at Your feet
Refiner
[Verse 1]
If the altar’s where You meet us
Take me there take me there
If what You need
Is just an offering
It’s right here my life is here
And I’ll be a living, Sacrifice for You
You’re a fire, The Refiner
I wanna be consumed
[Chorus]
I wanna be tried by fire
Purified
You take whatever You desire
Lord here’s my life
[Verse 2]
If Your glory wants to come in
Let it fall we want it all
Your fire is consuming
Fill this place set it ablaze
And I’ll be a living
Sacrifice for You
You’re a fire, The Refiner
I wanna be consumed
[Bridge]
So clean my hands
Purify my heart
I wanna burn for You
Only for You
Take my life
As a sacrifice
I wanna burn for You
Only for You
