147. 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 Up on the mountain when my Lord spoke,
out of his mouth came fire and smoke;
Looked all around me, it looked so fine,
I asked my Lord if all were mine. [Refrain]

2 O Jordan river is chilly and cold,
It chills the body, not the soul.
There ain't but one train that runs this track,
It runs to heaven and runs back. [Refrain]

3 Oh, I have sorrows and I have woe
And I have heartaches here below;
But while God leads me, I'll never fear,
For I am sheltered by God's care. [Refrain]
