Compositor: Gérald De Palmas / Keith Thomas
Everybody used to do the twist
The mashed potato, and it moves like this
The funky chicken, monkey too
Wasn't nothing they would not do
But there's a new dance no one can stop
A leap for joy we call the Holy Ghost Hop
Get ready, hold steady
Don't deny it, just try it
Be bold now, let it go now
Give the Holy Ghost control now
CHORUS
Rejoice with a grateful heart
Rejoice to the Holy One
Rejoice, let your praises fill the air
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, rejoice
Everybody praise Him and rejoice
Hey all you brothers and you sisters too
Don't let tradition tell you what to do
Release your worries and your fears
'Cause we've been hoppin' in the church for years
If King David was here I know that he
Would do the Holy Ghost Hop with me!
Now get ready, hold steady
Don't deny it, just try it
Be bold now, let it go now
Give the Holy Ghost control now
CHORUS
Lord, I will praise You
And I'll exalt you forever
I'll magnify You and I will love You
With all of my heart and my soul and my mind
We're not through, more to do
Don't be tame, praise His name
We're not done now, just begun now,
It's time to have some fun now!
CHORUS
