The iron walls would break,
My spirit free would make;
Oh, may it flow!

Oh, may my spirit flow,

I’d flow unceasingly,
In spirit flow.

Verse 6 ends "that living water flow.
John 4:14 - the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of living water springing up into eternal life.
John 7:38- He who believes into Me, as the Scripture said, out of his innermost being shall rivers of living water.

Oh, may our spirit flow! I agree with Shelley that singing/praying this hymn addresses most, if not all, of the reasons our spirit doesn't flow. Oftentimes, I too have this thought that I just don't know. I don't know how to release my spirit. But thank the Lord that we can seek our gracious Lord to dethrone our self and clear away the passageways of our inward parts for the spirit to flow purely and deeply into others for the building.

Lord I don't know how, I just open to You. Your will be done in me. You know my heart, I need Your help. I love You Lord. Spirit of Jesus Christ FLOW IN.
WHAT A BLESSING THIS HYMN.
I got a release in my spirit.

I was first introduced to this hymn during the winter training 2005. I have been singing it ever since, often times before meetings. Praise the Lord for this wonderful prayer/song. It addresses many of the reasons our spirit doesn't flow. Singing it gives the Lord room to clear out the all blockages and to allow our spirit to freely flow. Try it!
