Holy Ghost
It’s the Holy Ghost
It’s the Holy Ghost, HOLY GHOST!
Gather ‘round all who live in Jerusalem,
Listen up carefully, you gotta get used to ‘em
These people aren’t drunk, it’s only nine in the morning
It’s the Holy Ghost
It’s the Holy Ghost
It’s the Holy Ghost, HOLY GHOST!
Allow me to present some historical context
to counteract all your rhetorical nonsense
“In the last days I will pour out my Spirit
On the young and the old and all who are near it”
That’s called a prophecy, prognostication
Written in a book for a new generation
We’re living it, been given it
Coming down from the heavenly host
It’s the Holy Ghost
It’s the Holy Ghost
It’s the Holy Ghost, HOLY GHOST!
“I will not be shaken
I won’t see decay
I will not reside in the realm of the dead
I’m on the path of life
I’m invincible
Sitting on the throne of the heavenly king.”
We know these words, it’s our old King David
But I tell you confidently, without any uncertainty
That he is dead–Long Gone!
So who’s he talking about?
Remember the man with the wonders and signs,
Who healed the sick and gave sight to the blind
Maligned by you and I for no crime
Here’s the thing: We killed the King!
What do we do?!
I’m right there with you, I know what you’re feeling
Your heart is reeling, so I’m dealing a healing,
You're forgiven, so let's start living,
You gotta let it RIDE, he alive, he's alive!!
Open up the window, feel the wind inside,
It’s the Holy Ghost
It’s the Holy Ghost
It’s the Holy Ghost, HOLY GHOST!
It’s the Holy Ghost, He’s alive
It’s the Holy Ghost, feel the wind inside
It’s the Holy Ghost, HOLY GHOST!
It’s the Holy Ghost, the great victory
It’s the Holy Ghost, the promise upon us
It’s the Holy Ghost, HOLY GHOST!
