Verse 1:

There is an influence upon me that I know is real

A connection from a realm somewhere in the unseen

            D                           D/F#          G                    D   

It's an influence that's heavenly it comes from above

It's Jesus, the great fountain of agape love

The sweet influence of Jesus Christ

 D                Bm                A           

Sweet influences of the   Seven Stars

          D                 D/F#                  G                   D   

Held firmly by Orion's bands, secured in his love

Sweet influences flows from above

Verse 2:

    D                                                    G                D   

It gives me real conviction when I tend to stray

    D                                                         A            

It keeps me walking in the straight and narrow way

            D                              D/F#                   

When friends around me try to shake me 

G                D

From my stand

I see a world of people all going downstream

       D                                        A              

It's evident their influence comes from beneath

        D                                   D/F#             

But something keeps me going upstream

   G                 D

Against that flow

             D                    Bm                  A               D   

It's the influence of Jesus that's upon me I know

A great cloud of witnesses stands in glory today

                    D                                                    A            

They overcame by the word, God opened up in their day

         D                        D/F#        G                          D   

I'm identified with these who took that great stand

      D                        Bm                  A                D         

All influenced by Pleiades the stars in His right hand
