Mali, let's go get 'em!

[Mali:]
Gimme that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease my pain
I want that love that'll never change
Gimme dat (gimme dat), gimme dat (gimme dat)
Gimme that power to walk away
When another god wants to take your place
As much of you as I can take
Gimme dat, gimme dat

Oh oh ohhhh
Anybody ready
Oh oh ohhhh
Ready for his glory
Oh oh ohhhh
If you're a seeker for life
Oh oh ohhhh
Let me tell you the story
Oh oh ohhhh
Every place that's dark
Oh oh ohhhh
He will bring it to light
Oh oh ohhhh
Hypocritical horsebacks sliders liars time to get it right
Oh oh ohhhh
See I include myself
Oh oh ohhhh
I cast my own stones
Oh oh ohhhh
I'm the man in the mirror ya'll
Oh oh ohhhh
I can see my wall
Oh oh ohhhh
But I'm here by grace
Oh oh ohhhh
Through Christ by faith
Oh oh ohhhh
I had to make that choice, I had to open up my mouth and say

[Mali:]
Gimme that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease my pain
I want that love that'll never change
Gimme dat (gimme dat), gimme dat (gimme dat)
Gimme that power to walk away
When another god wants to take your place
As much of you as I can take
Gimme dat, gimme dat

Oh oh ohhhh
Anybody tired
Oh oh ohhhh
You want the show to end
Oh oh ohhhh
Get the actors off stage, and let church begin
Oh oh ohhhh
Do you want a revolution
Oh oh ohhhh
You wanna hear a new song
Oh oh ohhhh
God is cleanin' up house
Oh oh ohhhh
At first he started right at home
Oh oh ohhhh
[?] miracle water, buy clothes for money and fame
Oh oh ohhhh
Everybody gotta title, but do you know your name
Oh oh ohhhh
If we humble ourselves people
Oh oh ohhhh
Fall on our face
Oh oh ohhhh
And ask god everything 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
Gimme dat (gimme dat), gimme dat (gimme dat)
Gimme the power to walk away
When another god wants to take your place
As much of you as I can take
Gimme dat, gimme dat
[x2]

[Mali:]
I just need you today
Cause 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:]
I just need you today
Cause 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 breaths 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 that god who supplies my needs cause he owns all the cattle on the hill
And he's the god who wipes my tears, [?] enough to pay all my bills
Gimme me that god, that's the God I'm talkin' 'bout
Gimme me that god, that's the God I'm talkin' 'bout
Gimme dat, gimme dat
Gimme dat, gimme dat

[Choir:]
Gimme that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease my pain
I want that love that'll never change
Gimme dat (you say), gimme dat (we say)
Gimme that power to walk away
When another god wants to take your place
As much of you as I can take
Gimme dat, gimme dat

Gimme that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease my pain
I want that love that'll never change
Gimme dat (you say), gimme dat (we say)
Gimme that power to walk away
When another god wants to take your place
As much of you as I can take
Gimme dat, gimme dat

Gimme that joy I can't explain
Gimme that joy I can't explain
I'm at a loss for words now
I'm so happy, you make me happy

Gimme that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease my pain
I want that love that'll never change
Gimme dat (gimme dat), gimme dat (gimme dat)
