let the spirit descend

When John came preaching,
preparing the way,
For Jesus the heavenly King.
That all who believe and trust in His Name,
Could stand in God's kingdom,
and not be ashamed.

CHORUS
Let the spirit descend, like a beautiful dove,
As it did upon Jesus that day.
They were baptized by John,
In the river of Jordan.
God's voice spoke like thunder,
Saying "This is my son."

When Lazarus lay dead in the grave four days,
Martha sent for Jesus to come.
He said "Lazarus come forth"
And he heard what He said.
Lazarus in grave clothes arose from the dead.
