Embrace God's Presence with 'Holy Spirit Wind' by Lori Morris


Lori Morris is a landscape painter, Christian singer-songwriter, and loves to share her creativity. She released the song "Holy Spirit Wind," a song with an amazing backstory. "I've been writing songs on my own for about 15 years," Lori writes, "but in 2023, I prayed for God to connect me with other Christian songwriters. Just a few months later, He led me to my first Lake City Lights Retreat in Florida. … On one of the final days, I sat on the beach, connecting with God through His creation. I was enjoying His presence and the waves rolling in, and I prayed, "As the waves are rolling in, the strength You give me never ends." That line became the foundation of the song I co-wrote."

Lori Morris - Holy Spirit WindYou'll see this line appear in the chorus, a chorus that captures the essence of God's endless strength and presence: "As the waves are rolling in, The strength You give me never ends, Come and breathe on me again, Holy Spirit wind." The verses are about the "friendship" that we find in the Holy Spirit, who offers hope and healing amid all of the challenges we face in life.

The bridge elaborates on this theme, emphasizing how God's life-changing grace is at work in our lives: "You fill me, restore, Your will is transforming, You're working within me."

May "Holy Spirit Wind" also become your reminder that God's presence and strength are as constant and renewing as the waves. He is there for you, waiting for you to invite Him to be part of your life.

(Related scripture: Isaiah 40:29-31; John 14:26; Psalm 46:1; Romans 15:13)
