Thanks to music director Yun and the joint choir for performing “Every Time I Feel the Spirit” on Pentecost. This inspiring tune explores the powerful combination of spirit and prayer. Spirituals are easy to learn, because the melody is usually simple, and the lyrics are repetitious and easily grasped. But, do not miss the deeper meaning of this dynamic and powerful song.
Refrain: “Every time I feel the Spirit, moving in my heart, I will pray”
This song emphasizes the importance of letting the Spirit direct our lives. Indeed, First Lutheran’s mission statement declares that ‘we are energized by the Holy Spirit’. Likewise, one of our guiding principles affirms that ‘our lives are shaped by prayer’.
Let’s live our lives like the song implores: up-tempo, spirited, and full of energy. And let us be moved to pray, praise God, and give thanks ‘every time we feel the spirit’!
