Lyrics

 * Refrain
 * Every time I feel the Spirit
 * moving in my heart I will pray.
 * Yes, every time I feel the Spirit
 * moving in my heart I will pray


 * Verse 1
 * Upon the mountain, when my Lord spoke,
 * out of God's mouth came fire and smoke.
 * Looked all around me, it looked so fine,
 * till I asked my Lord if all was mine. [Refrain]


 * Verse 2
 * Jordan River, chilly and cold,
 * it chills the body but not the soul.
 * There is but one train upon this track.
 * It runs to heaven and then right back. [Refrain]
