Thread Name: Lyr Req: Jordan River
Subject: Lyr Add: EVERY TIME I FEEL THE SPIRIT
The song might be "Every Time I Feel the Spirit," but there're some differences. A version is posted here: Lyr Add: EVERYTIME I FEEL THE SPIRIT. Paul Robeson's recording of the song is on The Odyssey of Paul Robeson (OMEGA Classics OCD 3007):

EVERY TIME I FEEL THE SPIRIT

Every time I feel the spirit
Movin' in my heart, I will pray.
Every time I feel the spirit
Movin' in my heart, I will pray.

On the mountain my Lord spoke
Out his mouth came fire and smoke
In the valley on my knee
Asked my Lord, have mercy please.

Every time I feel the spirit
Movin' in my heart, I will pray.
Every time I feel the spirit
Movin' in my heart, I will pray.

Jordan river, chilly and cold
Chills the body but not the soul.
All around me looks so shine
Asked my Lord if all is mine.

Every time I feel the spirit
Movin' in my heart, I will pray.
Every time I feel the spirit
Movin' in my heart, I will pray.

Also on Paul Robeson: The Power and the Glory (Columbia/Legacy) [medley with "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"].
