Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. They laid their hands upon my head And said those sacred words And the Spirit filled my body That’s when I felt it first Then I always kept it with me Through every waking hour He was my constant companion At least for a while But then I made some choices that I still regret I should have had the Spirit but instead
I was empty I was on my own Just a shell of a man Left all alone But I fell down and I called out Left my sins there on the floor And I’m not empty anymore
2. Now whenever I feel hopeless Or like I’m not enough He comforts and protects me And covers me with love It’s a gift I couldn’t bear to be without And I’m so blessed He helped me turn my life around
’Cause I was empty I was on my own Just a shell of a man Left all alone But I fell down and I called out Left my sins there on the floor And I’m not empty anymore
Now I’m filled with His goodness Filled with His peace Filled with a purpose Much bigger than me I’m so grateful we can rectify the past And I’m never, no I’m never going back
’Cause I was empty I was on my own Just a shell of a man Left all alone But I fell down and I called out Left my sins there on the floor And I’m not empty anymore I’m not empty anymore
