stir the gift

oh'

i just wanna tell u a story

oh. the record company got me on the phone

this morning

they said

'boy

u betta get that record done.'

felt under pressure

so i flew back home to detroit city

i asked the lord to give me

one more song to sing

just one more song

one more

so i went to church with my mother and father

that sunday morning

and momma preached one message

she said

'prayer is the solution.'

when she got through preaching that message

god gave her a song

this is what she said

oh'

there's a power resting in you

there's a power resting in me

stir the gift

that the lord has placed in you

yeah yeah'

good god almighty

when she got through singing that song

it stirred up something on the inside of me

yeah

the anointing fell from the crown of my head

to the soles of my feet

and i just didn't sit there

i had to get up on my feet

and i had to sing'. there's a power resting in me

there's a power resting in you

stir the gift

that's all you gotta do

yeah

greater is he that is in thee

than he that is the world

there's a power resting in me

there's a power resting in you

stir the gift

god has not given thee a spirit of fear

but of power and love

you gotta stir it up

stir up the gift

stir up your faith

oh. i wish i had somebody out there
