Lyrics
We've been known to get wild, and let our hair hang down.
Drink till we get marry rolling on the ground
We cranked up the music and we've danced all around.
Shouting hallelujah as his glory came down
It's just our style, the way we do our thing
We're the Pentecostals, baptized in Jesus' name.
I'm a Pentecostal, I am not ashamed
Just read the book of Acts, we are still the same
We worship only one God, Jesus is his name
We are Apostolic in every way.
We've been known to get wild, and let our hair hang down.
Drink till we get marry rolling on the ground
We cranked up the music and we've danced all around.
Shouting hallelujah as his glory came down
It's just our style, the way we do our thing
We're the Pentecostals, baptized in Jesus' name.
I'm a Pentecostal, I am not ashamed
Just read the book of Acts, we are still the same
We worship only one God, Jesus is his name
We are Apostolic in every way.
Some think we're crazy others think we're strange
But when I got this Holy Ghost I could not contain More exciting then a party, higher than a drug.
It's the greatest feeling, being washed in his blood If your tired of traditions, religions done you wrong You're feeling dry and empty, no longer have a song.
The story in not over, things for you can change You can feel the fire burning, as the Spirit fans the flame
There's millions who have come, and millions on the way
They're leaving there dead churches for this Pentecostal faith
There's a hunger in the world that gets stronger everyday
They're crying out for Pentecost and that is why I say.
I'm a Pentecostal, I am not ashamed
Just read the book of Acts, we are still the same
We worship only one God, Jesus is his name
We are Apostolic in every way.
Some think we're crazy others think we're strange
But when I got this Holy Ghost I could not contain More exciting then a party, higher than a drug.
It's the greatest feeling, being washed in his blood If your tired of traditions, religions done you wrong You're feeling dry and empty, no longer have a song.
The story in not over, things for you can change You can feel the fire burning, as the Spirit fans the flame
There's millions who have come, and millions on the way
They're leaving there dead churches for this Pentecostal faith
There's a hunger in the world that gets stronger everyday
They're crying out for Pentecost and that is why I say.
I'm a Pentecostal, I am not ashamed
Just read the book of Acts, we are still the same
We worship only one God, Jesus is his name
We are Apostolic in every way.
I'm a Pentecostal, I am not ashamed
Just read the book of Acts, we are still the same
We worship only one God, Jesus is his name
We worship only one God, Jesus is his name
We worship only one God, Jesus is his name
We are Apostolic in every way.

Meaning & Inspiration
" I Am Pentecostal" presents an unashamed confession of Apostolic Pentecostal belief and worship. Its recurring chorus connects the congregation's identity with the book of Acts, baptism in Jesus' name, the Holy Spirit, and devotion to one God. The exuberant language portrays shouting, dancing, and Hallelujah as outward signs of spiritual joy.
The verses also contrast this lively faith with empty tradition and spiritual dryness. They describe the Holy Spirit as a filling presence that cannot be contained and the blood of Christ as a source of cleansing. The explicit appeal to Acts grounds these declarations in the Pentecost narrative and the apostolic preaching that follows. Acts 2:4-38 provides the clearest biblical parallel for the song's emphasis on Spirit, repentance, and baptism in Jesus Christ's name.
