Songtext zu 'Give Me' von Kirk Franklin

(Mali, let's go get 'em!)

Give me that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease my pain
Want that love that'll never change
Give me that, give me that
Give me that power to walk away
When another God wants to take your place
As much of you as I can take
Give me that, give me that

(Oh, oh, oh) anybody ready?
(Oh, oh, oh) ready for his glory?
(Oh, oh, oh) if you a seeker for life
(Oh, oh, oh) let me tell you this story
(Oh, oh, oh) every place that's dark
(Oh, oh, oh) he will bring it to light
(Oh, oh, oh) hypocritical hearts, backsliders, liars, time to get right
(Oh, oh, oh) see I include myself
(Oh, oh, oh) I cast my own stones
(Oh, oh, oh) I'm the man in the mirror yall
(Oh, oh, oh) I can see my wrongs
(Oh, oh, oh) but I'm here by grace
(Oh, oh, oh) through Christ by faith
(Oh, oh, oh) I had to make that choice
I had to open up my mouth and say

Give me that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease my pain
Want that love that'll never change
Give me that, give me that
Give me that power to walk away
When another God wants to take your place
As much of you as I can take
Give me that, give me that

(Oh, oh, oh) anybody tired?
(Oh, oh, oh) you want this show to end?
(Oh, oh, oh) get the actors off stage
(Oh, oh, oh) and let church begin
(Oh, oh, oh) do you want a revolution?
(Oh, oh, oh) you wanna hear a new song?
(Oh, oh, oh) see, God is cleanin' up house
(Oh, oh, oh) and first he started right at home
(Oh, oh, oh) no more miracle water
(Oh, oh, oh) burnt cloths, some money and fame
(Oh, oh, oh) everybody got a title
(Oh, oh, oh) but do you know your name?
(Oh, oh, oh) if we humble ourselves people
(Oh, oh, oh) fall on our face
(Oh, oh, oh) and ask God everything in me that's not right take it away

Yeah
Give me that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease my pain
I want that love that'll never change
Give me that, give me that
Ooh, I want that power to walk away
When another God wants to take your place
As much of you, lord, as I can take
Give me that, give me that

Yeah
Give me that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease the pain
I want that love that'll never change
Give me that, give me that
Ooh, give me that power to walk away
When another God wants to take your place
As much of you as I can take
Give me that, give me that

I choose you today
Cuz' I need you today
I can't get away
See, there's no escape
See what you've done to me
I'm not the same ol' me
You took away everything
Now your my everything

I choose you today
Cuz' I need you today
I can't get away
See there's no escape
See what you've done to me
I'm not the same ol' me
You took away everything
Now your my everything

Give me that God who breathes life
Into the nostrils of man
A sovereign God who predestin' creation before time began
I want that God who will really add some elegance, decorate the darkness with stars
The God who orchestrates the future, at the same time he knows where you are
Give that God who supplies my needs cause he owns all the cattle on the hill
And he's the God who washed my tears, and provides enough to pay all my bills

Gimmie me that God, that's the God im talkin' bout
Gimmie me that God, thats' the God im talkin' bout
Gimmie that, gimmie that
Gimmie that, ooh

Give me that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease my pain
Want that love that'll never change
Give me that, give me that
Give me that power to walk away
When another God wants to take your place
As much of you as I can take
Give me that, give me that

Give me that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease my pain
Want that love that'll never change
Give me that, give me that
Give me that power to walk away
When another God wants to take your place
As much of you as I can take
Give me that, give me that

Give me that joy I can't explain
Give me that joy I can't explain
