“Every Time I Feel the Spirit”
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.
UPON THIS MOUNTAIN MY GOD SPOKE,
OUT OF GOD’S MOUTH CAME FIRE AND SMOKE.
LOOKED ALL AROUND ME; IT LOOKED SO FINE,
I ASKED MY GOD IF ALL WERE MINE.
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.
OH, JORDAN RIVER, CHILLY AND COLD,
IT CHILLS THE BODY, BUT NOT THE SOUL.
THERE’S ONLY ONE TRAIN ON THIS TRACK;
IT RUNS TO HEAVEN, THEN RIGHT BACK.
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 Kings 19: 8b-15
8 Elijah got up, ate and drank, and went refreshed by that food for forty days and nights until he arrived at Horeb, God’s mountain. 9 There he went into a cave and spent the night.
The Lord’s word came to him and said, “Why are you here, Elijah?”
10 Elijah replied, “I’ve been very passionate for the Lord God of heavenly forces because the Israelites have abandoned your covenant. They have torn down your altars, and they have murdered your prophets with the sword. I’m the only one left, and now they want to take my life too!”
11 The Lord said, “Go out and stand at the mountain before the Lord. The Lord is passing by.” A very strong wind tore through the mountains and broke apart the stones before the Lord. But the Lord wasn’t in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake. But the Lord wasn’t in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake, there was a fire. But the Lord wasn’t in the fire. After the fire, there was a sound. Thin. Quiet. 13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his coat. He went out and stood at the cave’s entrance. A voice came to him and said, “Why are you here, Elijah?”
14 He said, “I’ve been very passionate for the Lord God of heavenly forces because the Israelites have abandoned your covenant. They have torn down your altars, and they have murdered your prophets with the sword. I’m the only one left, and now they want to take my life too.”
15 The Lord said to him, “Go back through the desert to Damascus and anoint Hazael as king of Aram.

“Spirit, Spirit of Gentleness"
SPIRIT, SPIRIT OF GENTLENESS,
BLOW THROUGH THE WILDERNESS,
CALLING AND FREE.
SPIRIT, SPIRIT OF RESTLESSNESS,
STIR ME FROM PLACIDNESS,
WIND, WIND ON THE SEA.
YOU MOVED ON THE WATERS,
YOU CALLED TO THE DEEP,
THEN YOU COAXED THE MOUNTAINS
FROM THE VALLEYS OF SLEEP;
AND OVER THE EONS
YOU CALLED TO EACH THING.
“AWAKE FROM YOUR SLUMBERS
AND RISE ON THE WINGS.”
SPIRIT, SPIRIT OF GENTLENESS,
BLOW THROUGH THE WILDERNESS, CALLING AND FREE.
SPIRIT, SPIRIT OF RESTLESSNESS,
STIR ME FROM PLACIDNESS,
WIND, WIND ON THE SEA.
YOU SWEPT THROUGH THE DESERT,
YOU STUNG WITH THE SAND,
AND YOU GOADED YOUR PEOPLE
WITH A LAW AND A LAND;
WHEN THEY WERE CONFOUNDED
BY THEIR IDOLS AND LIES,
THEN YOU SPOKE THROUGH YOUR PROPHETS
TO OPEN THEIR EYES.
SPIRIT, SPIRIT OF GENTLENESS,
BLOW THROUGH THE WILDERNESS, CALLING AND FREE.
SPIRIT, SPIRIT OF RESTLESSNESS,
STIR ME FROM PLACIDNESS,
WIND, WIND ON THE SEA.
YOU SANG IN A STABLE,
YOU CRIED FROM A HILL,
THEN YOU WHISPERED IN SILENCE
WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD WAS STILL;
AND DOWN IN THE CITY
YOU CALLED ONCE AGAIN,
WHEN YOU BLEW THROUGH YOUR PEOPLE
ON THE RUSH OF THE WIND.
SPIRIT, SPIRIT OF GENTLENESS,
BLOW THROUGH THE WILDERNESS, CALLING AND FREE.
SPIRIT, SPIRIT OF RESTLESSNESS,
STIR ME FROM PLACIDNESS,
WIND, WIND ON THE SEA.
YOU CALL FROM TOMORROW,
YOU BREAK ANCIENT SCHEMES,
FROM THE BONDAGE OF SORROW
THE CAPTIVES DREAM DREAMS;
OUR WOMEN SEE VISIONS,
OUR MEN CLEAR THEIR EYES.
WITH BOLD NEW DECISIONS
YOUR PEOPLE ARISE.
SPIRIT, SPIRIT OF GENTLENESS,
BLOW THROUGH THE WILDERNESS, CALLING AND FREE.
SPIRIT, SPIRIT OF RESTLESSNESS,
STIR ME FROM PLACIDNESS,
WIND, WIND ON THE SEA.

“Arise, Your Light Has Come”
ARISE, YOUR LIGHT HAS COME!
THE SPIRIT’S CALL OBEY;
SHOW FORTH THE GLORY OF YOUR GOD
WHICH SHINES ON YOU TODAY!
ARISE, YOUR LIGHT HAS COME!
FLING WIDE THE PRISON DOOR;
PROCLAIM THE CAPTIVE’S LIBERTY,
GOOD TIDINGS TO THE POOR.
ARISE, YOUR LIGHT HAS COME!
ALL YOU IN SORROW BORN,
BIND UP THE BROKEN HEARTED ONES
AND COMFORT THOSE WHO MOURN.
ARISE, YOUR LIGHT HAS COME!
THE MOUNTAINS BURST IN SONG!
RISE UP LIKE EAGLES ON THE WING;
GOD’S POWER WILL MAKE US STRONG.

Ezekiel 1: 1-4, 27-28
1 In the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, I was with the exiles at the Chebar River when the heavens opened and I saw visions of God. 2 (It happened on the fifth day of the month, in the fifth year after King Jehoiachin’s deportation. 3 The Lord’s word burst in on the priest Ezekiel, Buzi’s son, in the land of Babylon at the Chebar River. There the Lord’s power overcame him.)
4 As I watched, suddenly a driving storm came out of the north, a great cloud flashing fire, with brightness all around. At its center, in the middle of the fire, there was something like gleaming amber.
27 Above what looked like his waist, I saw something like gleaming amber, something like fire enclosing it all around. Below what looked like his waist, I saw something that appeared to be fire. Its brightness shone all around. 28 Just as a rainbow lights up a cloud on a rainy day, so its brightness shone all around. This was how the form of the Lord’s glory appeared. When I saw it, I fell on my face. I heard the sound of someone speaking.
