121. Ev'ry Time I Feel the Spirit

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

1 Upon the mountain my Lord spoke,
Out His mouth came fire and smoke.
All around me looks so shine,
Ask my Lord if all was mine. [Refrain]

2 Jordan River is chilly and cold,
Chills the body but not the soul.
Ain't but one train on dis track,
Runs to heaven and right back. [Refrain]
