The Hillbilly Thomists
Holy Ghost Power
[Verse 1]
From the day I found out you were telling me lies
I been living off of grits, whiskey, and Moon Pies
Trying to find my place, launching prayers into space
Staring into heaven at a bread that's unleavened

A hundred channels of nothing on the TV at ten
It's like Diet Coke and original sin
But don't be sad, it's just a world gone mad
You thought it was gold, but it's made out of tin

Now it's a zombie town, there's a lot of undead
They wander around looking underfed
And on their TV kitchens they watch the politicians
Try to hypnotize with the conviction in their eyes
When my heart was broke, I thought life was a joke
It was just at that time He removed the yoke

[Chorus]
He makes the rich man poor, He makes the weak man strong
No more going wrong just to get along
I felt the force of the truth when they pierced His side
I saw the war eagle dive and I could not hide
Just when I faced the capital hour
That's when I found the Holy Ghost power
[Verse 2]
You got to tear down the wall and read Saint Paul
Burn like fire after the fall
You got to change things up if you heard the Word
You got to die inside and serve the Bird

Truth doesn't come from the barrel of a gun
It comes from the Father and it comes from the Son
It comes from the One who can give the most
They call Him the Holy Ghost
Everything that rises must converge
And what burns by fire must go higher

[Chorus]
He makes the rich man poor, He makes the weak man strong
No more going wrong just to get along
I felt the force of the truth when they pierced His side
I saw the war eagle dive and I could not hide
Just when I faced the capital hour
That's when I found the Holy Ghost power

[Verse 3]
The Spirit told the prophets and the prophets told me
Now I read all about it in reality
By the Spirit of truth, who cannot lie
I'll be a servant of the Lord till the day I die
I didn't use to believe in the God of love
But now I eat it in the Body and I drink it in the wise Blood
[Chorus]
He makes the rich man poor, He makes the weak man strong
No more going wrong just to get along
I felt the force of the truth when they pierced His side
I saw the war eagle dive and I could not hide
Just when I faced the capital hour
That's when I found the Holy Ghost power

[Outro]
That's when I found the Holy Ghost power
That's when I found the Holy Ghost power
That's when I found the Holy Ghost power
