James Cleveland Something Got A Hold Of Me Lyrics

Chorus:
Something got a hold of me
Oh yes it did one day
Something got a hold of me
I went to a meeting one night
And my heart wasn't right
Something got a hold of me
(Repeat)

It was at a revival
On the mourners bench
I was filled with misery
The same God
That touched my mother
He laid His hands on me
That's why I say

Chorus

They were singing
"Come Ye That Loves The Lord"
And I thought they were singing to me
Something hit me
Up over my head
And run right to my feet
I never shall forget it

Chorus

It was the Holy Ghost (Holy Ghost)
Yes (Holy Ghost)
Yes (Holy Ghost)
Holy Ghost (Holy Ghost)
Holy Ghost (Holy Ghost)
Holy Ghost (Holy Ghost)
Holy Ghost (Holy Ghost)
Yes

Chorus

It was the Holy Ghost (Holy Ghost)
Yes (Holy Ghost)
Holy Ghost
Holy Ghost (Holy Ghost) Holy Ghost (Holy Ghost)
*tempo change*

Makes me walk right (Holy Ghost)
Makes me talk right (Holy Ghost)
Sing right (Holy Ghost)
Pray right (Holy Ghost)

It keeps me (Holy Ghost)
Saved me (Holy Ghost)

(repeat as the spirit moves)

End with Chorus

------------

(This is a version that is performed by the Five Blind Boys of Alabama)

Something got a hold of me
Something got a hold of me
Something got a hold of me

If you had been there
You would have shouted too
Something came from somewhere
and it made me feel brand new
The Holy Spirit came and it surely
set me free

Something
Something
Something
Something
Something

Made me walk right
Made me talk right
made me
made me
made me
Made me feel real good
Made me walk right
