Why do I say this?

Because we got Holy Ghost power here today.

I got a sea of his son's blood

wrapped around my body.

Can everybody say

we got Holy Ghost power in this tent?

Say it again! Holy Ghost power!

- Holy Ghost power! I said Holy Ghost power!

- Yeah!

Power to change you

when you don't want to be changed.

Power to remake you

when you don't want to be remade.

Shout hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

We got Holy Ghost power!

Hallelujah!

The Devil thought he had the keys.

But Jesus went to hell.

He made a house-call on the Devil.

He took him off of his throne.

Did a backflip over the Devil

and stripped him of all of his power.

And came out of hell

with the keys to the kingdom.

We got the keys to the kingdom!

We got the keys to the kingdom!

- Hallelujah!

- How about it, sister?

Come on and shout "Holy Ghost"!

Shout "Holy Ghost"!

Holy Ghost! The Holy Ghost!

Shout "Holy Ghost"!

d I have decided to follow Jesus

I have decided to follow Jesus

d I have decided to follow Jesus

d No turn around, no turn around d

- Who's the King of kings?

- Jesus.

- Before Abraham was, was who?

- Jesus!

- Who's the first and the last?

- Jesus.

- I'm on the Devil's hit list. Who's by my side?

- Jesus.

- Who's the lily of the valley?

- Jesus.

Yea, though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death, who is by my side?

- Jesus.

- Come on and say "Jesus", beloved.

- Jesus.

- If I wake up in hell, who do I look up to?

- Jesus.

- Shout it loud and say "Jesus"!

- Jesus.

- I can't hear you.

- Jesus!

- Jesus!

- Jesus!

- Jesus!

His name is Jesus.

Jesus.

A handclap for Jesus. Come on,

everyone. Give me a handclap.

Yea, though I walk...

...through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil...

...because I'm walking with Jesus.

I walk with Jesus. I talk with Jesus.

I walk with Jesus. I shout with Jesus.

I walk with Jesus. I stomp with Jesus.

We stomp all together.

We stomp on the Diablo.

I want to walk with you and stomp with you.

Yes. Thank you.

Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Lord.

Thank you. Oh, yes.

Come on, Joe! Joe!

- Joe, come on. We've got to go now.

- What's going on?

OK. I'm coming.

Let me in. You trying to kill me?

What's going on? We're going the wrong way.

If someone's in my bed that's supposed

to be there, we'll be back in 24 hours.

- You mean Jessie?

- Yeah. My sweet wife Jessie. You bet.

I'll call you in the morning.

Jessie?

Jess.

...are charged by almighty God

to show care and love for each other.

This is just part of our responsibility.

God has put us in a position of legal...

Sonny.

What's that?

Go back to sleep.

OK.

- It was nothing.

- Nothing.
