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 Detriot 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 [x2]

Oh'



[Chorus:]

There's a power resting in you

There's a power resting in me

Stir the gift [x4]

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 [x2]

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 [x4]

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

(God is going to give u everything u need)

Stir the gift [x4]

God has not given thee a spirit of fear

But of power and love



You gotta stir it up [repeat]

Stir up the gift, stir up your faith

Oh.. I wish I had somebody out there
