**[Verse 1]** I heard the word of truth Christ crucified for me A voice within the gospel Calling my heart to see I could not make the darkness Turn itself to light Yet through the word You called me And opened blinded eyes **[Pre-Chorus]** The Word was heard The Spirit moved My heart awakened To the truth I looked to Christ And there I found The grace that sought me Standing now **[Chorus]** Spirit of promise Breath of the living God Open my heart to Jesus Lead me to the cross Hearing, believing Resting in what Christ has done Sealed by the Spirit Adopted through the Son Not by the flesh Not by my strength Only by grace Through faith Spirit of promise Glorify the Son in me **[Verse 2]** The natural heart is darkened It cannot see Your ways The things of God seem foolish Until You give us grace Yet faith comes by the hearing The hearing by Your Word And through the gospel sounding The voice of Christ is heard **[Pre-Chorus]** You call through truth You draw the heart You shine where once The shadows are And when I trust I cannot boast For every hope Is grace alone **[Chorus]** Spirit of promise Breath of the living God Open my heart to Jesus Lead me to the cross Hearing, believing Resting in what Christ has done Sealed by the Spirit Adopted through the Son Not by the flesh Not by my strength Only by grace Through faith Spirit of promise Glorify the Son in me **[Verse 3]** How can the dead awaken? How can the blind believe? How can a heart receive You Before it can perceive?

The Spirit of God Who showed me the Son? The Spirit of God Who made Christ precious? The Spirit of God Who taught my heart to cry, “Jesus is Lord”? The Spirit of God Who seals the believer? The Spirit of God Who bears witness within? The Spirit of God Who grows love and mercy? The Spirit of God Who keeps pointing my heart Back to the Son? The Spirit of God **[Bridge 2 — full worship build]** Not flesh Not pride Not wisdom of man Your Word Your breath Your merciful hand Not wages earned Not righteousness mine Jesus alone My hope and my life From hearing to faith From faith into rest Your Spirit bears witness That I have been blessed From glory to glory Transforming Your own The Spirit bears fruit And Christ is made known **[Chorus — full]** Spirit of promise Breath of the living God Open my heart to Jesus Lead me to the cross Hearing, believing Resting in what Christ has done Sealed by the Spirit Adopted through the Son Not by the flesh Not by my strength Only by grace Through faith Spirit of promise Glorify the Son in me **[Verse 4 — stripped back]** And how shall I know You Are truly dwelling here?
