From the recording The Spirit Moves Through It - Detroit Soul
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 moves 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 moves through it, movin’ through it
The Spirit moves through it, I can hear it
As the Spirit moves through it, yeah! feel it
When the Spirit moves through it, I can play it
All right! movin’ through it
The Spirit of God movin’ through it
As the Spirit moves through it, I can feel it
When the Spirit moves through it, I can play it
The Spirit moves through it Movin’ through it
The Spirit moves through it Movin’ through it
The Spirit moves through it Movin’ through it
The Spirit of God Movin’ through it
