Let Loose the Spirit!

Last night at our youth group meeting we sang, and danced a particular song for the first time. It is called, "Let Loose the Spirit"

Ever heard it?

I don't know exactly who wrote it. It might be a person named Phil Porter, but I'm not sure.

The lyrics are:

Let loose the spirit
Let loose the joy
Let loose the spirit
Let loose the joy

With one another
Sister and brother

Let loose the spirit
Let loose the joy

(Then you repeat it more and more quickly)

The song has a Jewish celebration song tune -- and a great dance

Everyone's holding hands . . .

To the left --
Let loose the spirit
Let loose the joy (the whole time high step -like a march - followed by a small step)

Switch directions

To the right --
Let loose the spirit
Let loose the joy (the whole time high step -like a march - followed by a small step)

Into a "Are we gonna do the hokey pokey?" circle (Still holding hands)

With one another (step the same way into the center of the circle)
Sister and brother (step backwards to where you were before)

Let loose the spirit
Let loose the joy (the whole time high step -like a march - followed by a small step)

To start again -- switch directions, move more quickly and then get out of breath.

It was an awesome experience.
