When the Holy Spirit is in you, you can't help but rejoice!
Original '80s Gospel Rock Music
With close lead harmonies and keyboards provided by sisters Peggy Crawford and Tina Jackson we spread the Word in song throughout the '70s and '80s in Southern California.
Story behind the song
When Peggy wanted an audience response tune, my first thought was of the old style rock 'n roll music. Mike's honky tonk piano interpretation makes the piece.. Always a lot of fun to perfom live!
Lyrics
Passing through the gates of long ago Jeruselem.
See the man who's beggin', he ain't never had a friend.
He's callin' out to Peter 'n John, 'cause it looks like they're stickin' around
They ain't got a cent, and ask if he would just repent....and he says:
Bridge:
Yeah! (yeah!) Yeah! (yeah!)
Yeah! (yeah!) Yeah! (yeah!) YEAH!!!
Chorus:
Lord rain down the Fire, make my heart's desire Yours
Only You can take me higher, than I've ever been before
Lord rain down the Fire, oh how I ever long to see
Your Spirit living in me, Lord I know you set me free!
'Member ole Joshua headed for the Promised Land?
Promised by the Lord that He would lend a helping hand
Oh well the walls of Jericho were strong
But by the seventh time around, them walls was dust and Josh, well he ain't even mussed...and he says...
Bridge -
Chorus -
Out all night at their favorite fishin' hole
Rowin' and a haulin', still ain't got nothing to show
Then Jesus calls out from the shore, 'n now they know just where to go
To catch them fishes 'n whole, yeah, a whole lot more... so they say...
Bridge
