Need Help With A Song - "I'm A Pentecostal"
 
I have almost all the words to this song...

Can anyone help me find the rest of the words or correct me on what I have? I'm not sure how many will know of this song but if you do your help will be greatly appreciated.

The bolded lines are the ones I am not sure of. I also invite any input on any of the others that are wrong.

I’m A Pentecostal

Verse 1
We’ve been known to get loud
And let our hair hang down
Sing ‘til we get ?????
Rollin’ on the ground
We cranked up the music
We danced all around
Shouted Hallelujah
As His glory came down
This is just our style
The way we do our thang
We’re the Pentecostals
Baptized in Jesus name.

Chorus
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

Verse 2a
Some think we’re crazy
Others think we’re strange
But when I got the Holy Ghost
I could not contain
More exciting than a party
Higher than a drug
It’s the greatest feeling
Being washed in His blood
When you’re tired of tradition
Religion done you wrong
You’re feeling tired & empty
No longer have a song

Verse 2b
Hey the story is not over
Things for you can change
You’ll feel the fire burning
As the Spirit starts to blaze
There are millions who have come
And there’s millions on the way
They’re leaving their dead churches
For this Pentecostal faith
There is a hunger in the world
That gets stronger every day
Their crying out for Pentecost
And that is why I say

Yeah... it is pretty new as I understand it. Very new to me at least.

Have you heard it before or do you dislike it from the lyrics (recognizing that disliking from the lyrics is reason enough for one to dislike something... just asking)

here are the words this is from the lead sheet i was given from clc

VERSE I
known to get wild let our hair hang down
drink till we get merry rolling on the ground
we've cranked up the music danced all around
shouted hallelujah till God's glory came down
it's just our style the way we do our thing
we're the Pentecostals baptized in Jesus Name

CHORUS
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

VERSE III
some think we're crazy others think we're strange
since I found the holyghost I cannot contain
more exciting then a party higher than a drug
it's the greatest feeling being washed in his blood
if you're tired of tradition, religion's done you wrong
you're feeling dry and empty you no longer have a song
VERSE III
we'll the story is not over things for you can change
you feel the fire burning as the spirit fans the flame
there is millions who have come millions on their way
leavin' theyr dead churches for this pentecostal faith
their crying our for Pentecost and that is why i say

Yes, I've definitely heard it. CLC and WD Conference.

The beat and music are great, but it's one of those..."ALL ABOUT ME" songs. I prefer songs that worship God for who He is, not songs that are about who we are. "Friend of God" is a similar proclaimation, although this one doesn't bother me quite as much...
