Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mali, let's go get 'em
[Verse 2]
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 (Give me that)
Give me that power to walk away
When another god wants to take Your place (Let's go)
As much of You as I can take
Give me that (Hear it), give me that
[Verse 3]
(Oh, oh-oh) Anybody ready?
(Oh, oh-oh) Ready for His glory?
(Oh, oh-oh) If you're a seeker for life
(Oh, oh-oh) Lemme tell you this story (Lemme tell you this story)
(Oh, oh-oh) Every place that's dark
(Oh, oh-oh) He will bring it to light
(Oh, oh-oh) Hypocritical hearts, backsliders, liars, time to get right
(Oh, oh-oh) See, I include myself
(Oh, oh-oh) I cast my own stone
(Oh, oh-oh) I'm the man in the mirror, y'all
(Oh, oh-oh) I can see my wrong
(Oh, oh-oh) But I'm here by grace
(Oh, oh-oh) Through Christ by faith
(Oh, oh-oh) I had to make that choice
I had to open up my mouth and say
[Verse 4]
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 (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), give me that
[Verse 5]
(Oh, oh-oh) Anybody tired?
(Oh, oh-oh) You want the show to end?
(Oh, oh-oh) Get the actors offstage
(Oh, oh-oh) And let church begin
(Oh, oh-oh) Do you want a revolution?
(Oh, oh-oh) You wanna hear new songs? (New songs)
(Oh, oh-oh) See, God is cleanin' up house
(Oh, oh-oh) And first, He's startin' right at home
(Oh, oh-oh) No more miracle water
(Oh, oh-oh) Prayer cloths for money and fame
(Oh, oh-oh) See, everybody got a title
(Oh, oh-oh) But do you know your name?
(Oh, oh-oh) If we humble ourselves, people
(Oh, oh-oh) Fall on our face
(Oh, oh-oh) And ask God
"Everything in me that's not right, take it away"
[Verse 6]
Yeah, give me that joy that I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease the pain
I want that love that'll never change
Give me that (Give me that), give me that (Give me that)
Ooh, I want the power to walk away (I see You)
When another god wants to take Your place
As much of You, Lord, as I can take (I see You)
Give me that (One more time), give me that (One more time)
[Verse 7]
Yeah, give me that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease the pain
I want that love that'll never change
Give me that (Give me that), give me that (Give me that)
Ooh, 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 (Come on)
[Verse 8]
And I choose You today, 'cause I need You today
I can't get away, see, there's no escape
See what You've done to me, I'm not the same old me
You took away everything, now You're my everything (Jesus)
[Verse 9]
I choose You today (Come on), 'cause I need You today (Yes, I do)
I can't get away (I can't run from You)
See, there's no escape (See what You've done to Your boy) (No escape)
See what You've done to me (I'm not the same old me) (Oh, yeah)
I'm not the same old me (You took everything)
You took away everything (And now You're my everything)
Now you're my everything (Mali)
[Verse 10]
Give me that God who breathes life into the nostrils of man
A sovereign God who predestined creation before time began
I want a God who, with brilliance and elegance
Decorated 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 (Yeah)
And He's the God who wipes my tears
And provides enough to pay all my bills
[Verse 11]
And give me that God, that's the God I'm talkin' 'bout
(Gimme that God)
Give me that God, that's the God I'm talkin' 'bout
(How many of y'all want that God?)
Give me that, give me that (Let's go)
Give me that, ooh (Come on)
[Verse 12]
Give me that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease my pain (Fill me up)
I want that love that'll never change (I need to hear y'all say it)
Give me that (You said), give me that (We said)
Give me that (Yes) power to walk away (I need to hear y'all) (Yeah)
When another god wants to take Your place (I'll take it)
As much of You as I can take (Do you want it?)
Give me that (Give me that), give me that (Do you want it?) (All of that)
[Verse 13]
(Yeah) Give me that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll ease my pain (Jesus, I want more of You)
(Give me Your love) I want that love that'll never change
(But I know there's gonna be less of me)
Give me that (I need it), give me that (I need it, yeah)
Give me that power to walk away (Power)
(Not on my terms, God, but on Your terms, God)
When another god wants to take Your place
As much of You as I can take (As much of You as I can take)
Give me that (Oh, God), give me that (Do you want it?)
[Verse 14]
Give me that joy I can't explain
Give me that joy I can't explain
I'm at a loss for words now
I'm so happy, You make me happy, now
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Give me that joy I can't explain
Add extra peace that'll, add extra peace that'll ease the pain
I want that love that'll never change, oh
Give me that (Give me that), give me that
Give me that
[Verse 15]
Oh, oh-oh
Yeah
