Kirk Franklin – Give Me lyrics

[Singing]

[Mali]
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

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

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
Anybody ready

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
Ready for his glory

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
If your a seeker for life

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
Let me tell you this story

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
Every place that's dark

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
He will bring it to light

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
Hypocritical hearts, back sliders, liars time to get right

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
See I include myself

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
I cast my own stones

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
I'm the man in the mirror yall

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
I can see my own wrong

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
But I'm here by grace

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
Through Christ by faith

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
I had to make that choice, I had to open up my mouth and say

[Mali]

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

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

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
Anybody tired

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
You want the show to end

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
Get the actors off stage, and let the church begin

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
Do you want a revolution?

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
You wanna hear a new song?

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
God is cleaning up house

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
At first he started right at home

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
No more miracle water, prayer cloths, some money and fame

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
Everybody gotta title, but do you know your name

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
If we humble ourselves, people

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
And fall on our face

[Choir sings]
Oh oh oh

[Kirk Franklin speaking]
And ask god every thing in me that's not right take it away

[Mali]

Gimme 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

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

[2x]

[Mali]

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

[Choir sings]
I choose you today, cuz I need you today
I can't get away
See, there's no escape
See what you done to me
I'm not the same ol' me
You took away everything
Now you're my everything

[Mali]

Give me that God that breathes life into the nostrils of man
A sovereign god who predestined creation before time began
I want a God who would 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 me that God who supplies my needs 'cause he owns all the cattles on the hill
And He's the God who wipes my tears, and provides enough to pay all my bills
Gimmie me that god, that's the God I'm talking bout
Gimmie me that god, that's the God I'm talking bout
Give me that, Give me that
Give me that, Give me that

[Choir]

Gimme 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

Give me the 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

Gimme that joy I can't explain
I'm so happy, you make me happy
Gimme that joy I can't
Add extra peace that'll Add extra peace, ease my pain
I want that love that'll never change
Give me that, Give me that, Give me that...
