Karen Clark-Sheard – Send It Down (Official Live Performance Video)

The lyrics of “Send It Down” convey a deep longing for God’s power and presence to fill the lives of believers, drawing parallels to the Day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out (Acts 2:1-4). The song emphasizes surrendering to God and trusting in His transformative work. The recurring theme of revival reflects the desire for spiritual renewal and miracles in the church community. The central message is a call for divine intervention and empowerment, motivated by faith in God’s abilities to deliver and heal.

The context of the text reflects a worship setting, seeking a renewal of faith and experience of God’s power. A fitting biblical reference is Acts 2, detailing the Pentecost event and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which the song directly relates to in its themes.

Send It Down Lyrics

Lord won’t You send Your power down
