"Every Time I Feel the Spirit" - trad. Spiritual
Moving in my heart, moving in my heart
Moving in my heart, moving in my heart
Upon the mountain, I will pray.
Chorus:
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.
Upon the mountain my Lord spoke
Out of His mouth came fire and smoke
Looked all around me, it looked so fine
Till I asked my Lord if all was mine.
Chorus
Jordan river, is chilly an' cold
It chills the body but not the soul
There ain't but one train, upon this track
It runs to heaven, an' right back.
Chorus
Down in the valley, when I feel weak
It's when the devil, use'ly speaks
Because he's crafty, and full of lies
I need the Spirit to keep me wise.
Chorus
"To Rise with the Dawning" -
Judah Halevi (c.1075-1141)
To rise with the dawning
My heart awakens me.
I watch for the eyelids
Of sunrise impatiently.
I rise to my Fair Gazelle,
And beg Him to pardon me.
With words He imparted
I speak of His sovereignty.
His splendour, His righteousness
I hymn to His community,
And praise Him as long as
His spirit remains with me.
