Stir The Gift

Deitrick Haddon


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
