Every Time I Feel the Spirit

Representative Text

Refrain:
O 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 when my God spoke,
out of His mouth came fire and smoke.
All around me looks so fine,
asked my Lord if all was mine. [Refrain]

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