Lyrics:

Refrain: Spirit, spirit of gentleness.
Blow through the wilderness, calling and free. Spirit, spirit of restlessness. Stir me from placidness. Wind, wind on the sea. You moved on the waters, You called to the deep, Then You coaxed up the mountains. From the valley of sleep, And over the eons You called to each thing, "A wake from your slumbers And rise on your wings." You swept through the dessert, You stung with the sand, And You gifted your people With a law and a land, And when they were blinded With their idols and lies, Then You spoke through Your prophets To open their eyes. You sang in a stable, You cried from a hill, Then You whispered in silence When the whole world was still, And down in the city You called once again When You blew through Your people On the rush of the wind. You call from tomorrow, You break ancient schemes, From the bondage of sorrow The captives dream dreams; Our women see visions, Our men clear their eyes. With bold new decisions Your people arise. |
