Lyrics

I was given a gift, I will use it
A mighty fine gift, as I play it
Within the beat of my heart, I can feel it
The Spirit of God, movin’ through it
Recording some tracks and rockin’ to it
the sound is so good, I can groove it
Drummer Benny’s shoulders, risin’ to it,
sets the next beat and I can move it!

Put the chart in front so I can read it
They’re rollin’ the tape, I can nail it
No playin’ Tambourine, I once said it
But it called out to me and now I play it
The song hits the charts, the radio airs it
I know who put me here, Jesus did it
Sound, music and praise, I can hear it
It’s more than a gift, I jump into it

Two four, four four count it as I hit it
Just groovin’ to music and record it
Six eight, twelve eight count it, nothin’ to it
The Spirit runs through it, I can hear it
Single time, double time, any time will do it
When given’ the job, I will take it
Triple time, quadruple time, all the time, I drive it
No matter how late, I can work it

The Spirit runs through it, Runnin’ through it
The Spirit runs through it, I can hear it
As the Spirit runs through it, Yeah I feel it.
When the spirit runs through it, I can play it
Alright, runnin’ through it, yeah
The Spirit of God, runnin’ through it
As the Spirit runs through it, I can feel it
When the Spirit runs through it, I can play it
The Spirit runs through it
The Spirit runs through it
The Spirit runs through it
The Spirit of God, runs through it
