Chorus:                                 D⁷

                        We’re sending up an invitation

                                             G⁷         D⁷

                        We’re asking for a visitation

                                     D⁷          A⁷               D⁷                        G⁷

                        There’s glory all around let the Holy Ghost come down

                                   C                  G/B         D⁷

                        We’re sending up an invitation now

Verse 1:          D⁷

                        Early on Sunday morning

                               G⁷                                    D⁷

                        One hundred and twenty in the room

                        So excited about Jesus

                                       E⁷                                  A⁷

                        Since the day he walked out of the tomb

                                         D⁷

                        They were waiting for the arrival

                                   G⁷                                        F^#7

                        Of the Spirit He promised would descend

                                 G⁷                 E⁷/G^#            D/A                   B^m

                        With hearts in one accord they began to praise the Lord

                                E^m7           A⁷             D⁷   

                        And sent an invitation up to Him

Verse 2:          D⁷

                        Fire fell from Heaven

                        G⁷                                            D⁷

                        Showering down like summer rain

                        The disciples could not contain it

                                  E⁷                                    A⁷

                        Their lives would never be the same

                                               D⁷

                        Oh Lord, I’m longing for that same spirit

                                    G⁷                                  F^#7

                        Poured out on the day of Pentecost

                                       G⁷               E⁷/G^#         D/A                        B^m

                        Come on in the open door that’s what we’re waiting for

                              E^m7              A⁷               D⁷   

                        An interruption of the Holy Ghost
