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.
Up on that mountain, our story starts,
The Light of God in all people’s hearts,
There’s that of God in me and you,
It’s what we call here, ubuntu.
Every time I feel the Spirit,
Moving in my heart, I will pray,
Cada vez que siento el espíritu,
En mi corazón, oraré.
Jordan River, chilly and cold,
it chills the body, but not the soul.
There ain’t but one train, that’s on this track,
it runs to heaven and runs right back.
CHORUS
Pale Kaimosi Nchini Kenya,
Walifika Marafiki,
Twahushudia, Juhudi Zao
Zakueneza, Amani
CHORUS
Kitang tanan, ning kalibutan
Adunay lawas, Dunay kalag,
Ikaw’g ako, managsama
Anak sa diyos, Igsoon ta
CHORUS
Gdzieś między morzem, i pasmem gór,
swych sił próbuje, kwakierski chór,
Melodia Foksa, nam pomóc ma,
zobaczyć światło, co wiecznie trwa
CHORUS
