Singing the Living Tradition ‎#208

208. Every Time I Feel the Spirit

Refrain:
Ev’ry time I feel the Spirit
moving in my heart, I will pray.
Yes, ev’ry time I feel the Spirit
moving in my heart, I will pray.

1 Upon the mountain, my God spoke,
o'er the mount came fire and smoke.
All around me looks so shine,
ask my God if all was mine. [Refrain]

2 The River Jordan runs right cold,
chills the body, not the soul.
Ain’t but one train on this track,
runs to heaven and right back. [Refrain]
