351. Every 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 On the mountain when my Lord spoke,
Out His mouth came fire and smoke.
All around me, it looked so fine,
Asked my Lord if all was mine. [Refrain]

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