Lyrics
Verse 1
An unclean spirit leaves a man behind
Wanders dry places, no rest can he find
He says, "I'll return to the home I once knew"
Finds it empty, swept, and garnished too
Pre-Chorus
No light inside, no spirit dwells there
The good has departed, left it bare
Chorus
Fill this house, Lord, with Thy Holy Ghost
Let Thy presence be the one who reigns the most
Not just swept clean from the sins of the past
But filled with Thy light that forever will last
Fill this house, fill this house with Thee
Verse 2
True repentance is more than turning away
It's replacing the darkness with the gospel's ray
Daily prayer and scripture, service in His name
Good habits growing, fanning faith's flame
Pre-Chorus
For if we leave it vacant, swept and neat
Worse spirits return with deception so sweet
Chorus
Fill this house, Lord, with Thy Holy Ghost
Let Thy presence be the one who reigns the most
Not just swept clean from the sins of the past
But filled with Thy light that forever will last
Fill this house, fill this house with Thee
Bridge (Building intensity, add choir layers)
No more empty vessels, no more vacant soul
Let the Comforter come and make me whole
I will seek Thy kingdom, walk in righteous ways
Keep the door guarded with prayer and praise
Final Chorus (Louder, more powerful)
Fill this house! Lord, with Thy Holy Ghost
Let Thy fire burn bright in the one I love most
Swept by repentance, now garnished with grace
Filled with the Spirit in this holy place
Fill this house... fill my heart with Thee
Outro (Soft, fading piano and strings)
The house is no longer empty...
For Thy Spirit dwells in me.
