Matthew

Many of the songs we sing about the Holy Spirit are based around how we feel, or what we want to experience. This song is about who the Holy Spirit is and what we're wanting to see the Holy Spirit do in our lives and in the wider communities we're living in. It's missional at heart, asking the Holy Spirit to fill us to empower us to go out into the world, enable us to share the love of God and draw people to Him.
John 11:35, the shortest verse in the Bible, it the theme running through this song. I expanded on this verse referring to the death of Lazarus, to cite other examples when Jesus wept, drawing from other gospels as well - the birth of Jesus (Luke 2), Jesus weeping for Jerusalem (Luke 13:34-35) and the death of Jesus (Matt. 27:50, Mark 15:39), and Psalm 30:5 as well. The style of the music is related to plainsong/chant, of course with some modern twists!
