lyric spacing

[Father Panteleimon]

How can I adjust the minimum space allowed between individual words in lyrics? They seem too close even when the words aren’t particularly long.  I don’t want to adjust the spacing of the notes per se, just to add a tiny bit of space between words, which space won’t go away regardless of how short the note durations might be.

 

Thank you.
