Lyrics:

Refrain: Every time I feel the spirit
Moving in my heart I will pray
Every time I feel the spirit
Moving in my heart I will pray

1. Upon a mountain my Lord spoke
Out of his mouth came fire and smoke
Down in the valley on my knees
I asked the Lord have mercy please

2. Jordan river chilly and cold
Took my body but not my soul
All around me looking so fine
I ask the Lord and know it is mine

3. Ain't but one train runs this track
Runs to heaven runs right back
St Peter waiting at the gate
Saying come on sinner, don't be late
