How would an outsider interpret the song? Line 2: Expands on Post-Chorus (2), line 1, adding the word “baptize”, which means “immersion” (see Verse 1, line 2). Line 1: Indeed! After all, if He didn’t, He wouldn’t do it. Lines 4-18: Repeats/essentially repeats lines 1-3. Line 2: Maverick and UPPERROOM explicitly state their desire for the Holy Spirit implicit throughout the rest of these lyrics. Line 1: Essentially repeats Verse 1, line 3. Studying Scripture (2 Timothy 2:15 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17).Line 1: That is, for Maverick and UPPERROOM to become more sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading. They do this by: Background vocals ask the Holy Spirit to come and claim to feel His flame. Line 2: Allegorizes heaven as the Holy Spirit. Line 1: References Acts 2:1-4, which describes the Holy Spirit who came to rest upon the early disciples of Jesus as a rushing wind and fiery tongues. Lines 2 and 3: Essentially repeats line 1. Line 1: Another prayer, that the Holy Spirit would fill Maverick and UPPERROOM. Lines 6-10: Essentially repeats lines 1-5. Line 5: The Holy Spirit lives inside Maverick and UPPERROOM (Acts 6:5, Romans 8:9-11, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 6:16-19, Galatians 4:6, Ephesians 5:18, and 2 Timothy 1:14). Line 2-4: The Holy Spirit stirs Maverick and UPPERROOM, making them feel alive, detecting His movement in their present place.
Line 1: Another prayer, that the Holy Spirit would descend like a dove (Matthew 3:16, Mark 1:10, Luke 3:22, and John 1:32). They also pray that He rests on them as He did to the early followers of Jesus in Acts 2:3. Lines 1-3: Maverick and UPPERROOM’s prayer is that the Holy Spirit surrounds them as He did in Genesis 1:2. How much of the lyrics line up with Scripture? Following this is the final iteration of the Chorus, containing the same five-line phrase four times in a row. Bridge essentially repeats the same three lines six times. Side Note: To those annoyed by massive repetition, almost the entire song repeats this same message over and over again.
They are immersed in His Presence and love. Maverick & UPPERROOM pray that the Holy Spirit, who once moved over the pre-earth waters and filled the early disciples of Jesus like a violent wind and tongues of fire, moves around, onto, and inside them.
