Mahalia Jackson
Everytime I Feel the Spirit I Pray
[Verse 1]
Oh, Father, which art in heaven
Help me to pray as I bow before Thee
Teach me, Lord, Thy holy ways
And I shall keep it, Lord, everyday
Let Thy mercy come upon me
Deliver my soul, Lord, from sinful ways
[Verse 2]
For I will speak of Thy testimony
Before king and before men
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
Because I know, Lord, you've been my friend
Everytime I feel your spirit, Lord
Moving in my heart, I pray
[Bridge]
(Halleluiah, halleluiah)
(Halleluiah, halleluiah)
(Halleluiah, halleluiah)
(Halleluiah, halleluiah)
(Halleluiah, halleluiah)
(Halleluiah, halleluiah)
[Verse 3]
Lord, remember my cry, the midnight hour
Thanking you, Lord, for your holy power
Thou salvation, been a light to my pathway
And I shall never, Lord, depart from Thee
Because I know, Lord, you know the way
And I shall keep it everyday
Everytime I feel the spirit, Lord
Moving in my heart, I pray
[Outro]
Everytime I feel your spirit
Moving in my heart, I pray
Moving in my heart, I pray
Moving in my heart, I pray
Moving in my heart, I pray
Moving in my heart, I pray
Moving in my heart, I will pray
(My heart, I pray)
