Chalice Hymnal ‎#592

592. Every Time I Feel the Spirit

[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.

1 Upon the mountain, my Lord spoke,
out of his mouth came fire and smoke.
All around me looks so fine,
ask my Lord if all was mine. [Refrain]

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

3 I have heartache, I have woe,
I have trouble here below.
While God leads me I'll not fear,
I am sheltered by God's care. [Refrain]
