SPIRIT OF GOD IN THE CLEAR RUNNING WATER by Ike Al. Eseka — Lyrics

[Verse 1] Spirit of God in the clear running water, Blowing to greatness the trees on the hill; Spirit of God, in the finger of morning, [Verse 2] Down in the meadow the willows are moaning, Sheep in the pasture cannot lie still; Spirit of God, creation is groaning, [Verse 3] I saw a scar of a year that lay dying, Heard the lament of a lone whippoorwill; Spirit of God, see that cloud crying, [Verse 4] Spirit of God ev'ry man's heart is lonely,

About SPIRIT OF GOD IN THE CLEAR RUNNING WATER

"Spirit of God in the Clear Running Water" is a gentle, folk-inspired hymn that breathes life into any liturgy. Instead of grand, abstract theology, the song uses the quiet, everyday movements of nature—the rustling trees, the morning light, and the clear streams—to help us feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. It reminds the choir and the congregation that God’s Spirit is active in the world around us, bringing renewal and comfort to a creation that is "groaning" and hearts that are "lonely."

In the choir loft, this piece is a wonderful choice for Pentecost Sunday, Confirmations, or any Mass where a theme of spiritual renewal is needed. The verses flow with a natural, storytelling rhythm, leading into a sweeping, memorable refrain that asks the Spirit to "blow where you will." When the harmony opens up on the refrain, it creates a genuine sense of release and surrender, making it a deeply moving experience for everyone singing and listening.
