Holy Ghost Halloween Hymn
Holy Ghost
Haunt me now
Like this run down heart
Was Your run down house
I need to get spooked
So come on around
Holy Ghost
Haunt me now
Holy Ghost
Scare the hell out of me
I'll be Your Scrooge
You my Christmas ghosts three
Past, Present, and Future
Lord, help me see
Holy Ghost
Scare the hell out of me
Holy Ghost
Prove that You're true
You're a mystery machine
And I am Your sleuth
Pull the masks off Your villains
Just like Scooby Doo
Holy Ghost
Show me the proof
Holy Ghost
Come haunt me now
Just like this old heart
Was Your creepy old house
To get spooked I need You
So come on around
Holy Ghost
Haunt me now

I've been wanting to write this song for a long time...
The approach of this All Hallows Eve seemed like a good enough reason to compose a seasonal song inviting the Spirit of God to haunt our hearts anew.
HAUNT, v. haunt·ed, haunt·ing, haunts
1. To inhabit, visit, or appear to in the form of a ghost or other supernatural being.
2. To visit often; frequent
3. To come to the mind of continually; obsess
4. To be continually present in; pervade
I omitted the verse imploring Him to "put slime on my face" describing an "ectoplasmic baptism...covered with grace"

I LOVE IT!
One of my favorites.
My Church of God Pastor Grandpa would correct ANYONE if they called the Holy Ghost anything besides the Holy Ghost. No Holy Spirit for him...nope...He said people called it that because they were trying to keep from being scared by it...
And...a song with the words Holy Ghost AND Scooby Do? That's just good.

I'm thankful that you share these things with us. Now I just need to see you in real life, and meet all these country-neo-folk people you've apparently been hanging out with. Love man.

i just realized that maybe there's not a country vibe to it. maybe i've just been away from home for too long. crap.

oh...the vibe is there...
note the delivery of the line
"i need to get spooked" for example
country.
