117. I'm Goin'-a Sing When the Spirit Says Sing

1 I’m goin’-a sing when the Spirit says sing,
I’m goin’-a sing when the Spirit says sing,
I’m goin’-a sing when the Spirit says sing,
and obey the Spirit of the Lord.

2 I’m goin’-a pray when the Spirit says pray,
I’m goin’-a pray when the Spirit says pray,
I’m goin’-a pray when the Spirit says pray,
and obey the Spirit of the Lord.

3 I’m goin’-a moan when the Spirit says moan,
I’m goin’-a moan when the Spirit says moan,
I’m goin’-a moan when the Spirit says moan,
and obey the Spirit of the Lord.

4 I’m goin’-a shout when the Spirit says shout,
I’m goin’-a shout when the Spirit says shout,
I’m goin’-a shout when the Spirit says shout,
and obey the Spirit of the Lord.
