The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:Chorus:
Everyone moved by the spirit is the son and daughter of God.
Led by the power of his love,
We will live in the light of the Lord,
We will live in the light of the Lord.
Come spirit of Jesus;
Come with the power of his name,
Renew the depths of our heart.
Come spirit of Jesus;
Send forthx the power of your love,
Renew the face of the earth.
