Lyrics

When the Spirit of the Lord (is within my heart)*
I will sing as David sang.
When the Spirit of the Lord is within my heart
I will sing as David sang.
I will sing, I will sing, I will sing as David sang.
I will sing, I will sing, I will sing as David sang.

When the Spirit of the Lord is within my heart
I will clap as David clapped.
When the Spirit of the Lord is within my heart
I will clap as David clapped.
I will clap, I will clap, I will clap as David clapped.
I will clap, I will clap, I will clap as David clapped.

When the Spirit of the Lord is within my heart
I will dance as David danced.
When the Spirit of the Lord is within my heart
I will dance as David danced.
I will dance, I will dance, I will dance as David danced.
I will dance, I will dance, I will dance as David danced.

When the Spirit of the Lord is within my heart
I will praise as David praised.
When the Spirit of the Lord is within my heart
I will praise as David praised.
I will praise, I will praise, I will praise as David praised.
