Well I walked down to my local A of G
to look around and see what I could see
I heard somebody shout spun myself about
Then I saw this big, old deacon man
running straight towards me
His face was red, he shook his head
He looked up at me and said
Chorus
This thing is real
This thong is real
this automatic all-fanatic blessing I feel
You may not understand
Why we shout and raise our hands
It's only because this thing is real
Frightened in the back row there I sat
I must admit I was nervous as a cat
I felt the Spirit's groove
Then started to move
The Holy Ghost done showed me there
Where it's really at
Was it a dream
Too real it seemed
But you outta hear me scream
Chorus
Let me tell you what it feels like
It's just like fire shut up in my bones //:3 + 1 x
Chorus
Everyone should know, this thing is real
Tell somebody, tell someone, it's real I know, I know it's real
