Subject: ADD Version: Every Time I Feel The Spirit
The original post in this thread asked for the Marian Anderson lyrics. Here's my transcription from the YouTube link shown below. I imagine that Anderson recorded this song several times, so she may have recorded various lyrics through her life.

EVERY TIME I FEEL THE SPIRIT

CHORUS:
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.

On the mountain, my Lord spoke,
Out of his mouth came fire and smoke,
In the valley, on my knees,
Asked my Lord: "Have mercy, please."
CHORUS

Jordan River, is chilly an' cold,
It chills the body but not the soul
All around me, looks so fine,
Asked my Lord, if all was mine.
CHORUS
