When the Power Came Down

Representative Text

1 Once the disciples waited,
Once the disciples waited;
'Twas in the upper chamber,
When the pow'r came down.

Chorus;
Like wind, with mighty rushing,
Came down the Holy Spirit;
Oh, there was great rejoicing
When the pow'r came down.

2 Then Peter preached a sermon,
Then Peter preached a sermon;
Three thousand were converted
When the pow'r came down. [Chorus]

3 Once my poor heart was heavy,
Once my poor heart was heavy;
But Jesus took my burden,
When the pow'r came down. [Chorus]

4 We had a great revival,
We had a great revival;
And many were converted,
When the pow'r came down. [Chorus]

5 It made old Satan tremble,
It made old Satan tremble;
Because his chain was broken,
When the pow'r came down. [Chorus]

6 I left the world behind me,
I left the world behind me;
I started out for glory,
When the pow'r came down. [Chorus]
