GIVE ME A DOUBLE PORTION
1. Long ago in days of old, stood a
man of God we’re told,
As he talked to Elijah that day;
His request he did repeat, standing
at Elijah’s feet,
AA double portion I can hear him
say.
Chorus:
Give me, Lord, a double portion,
pour Thy Spirit on me,
Thru eyes of faith Thy wondrous
works I can see;
But I need Thy helping hand, in this
troubled, sinful land,
Give me, Lord, a double portion
from Thee.
2. As Elijah stood that day, to Elisha,
he did say,
AAsk me what I shall do unto thee
And Elisha then replied, walking at
Elijah’s side,
AA double portion, let it fall on me.
3. Lord, I always to Thee pray, just for
strength from day to day,
But I see there’s so much to be
done,
That I have to kneel a new and this
favour ask of you,
A double portion this fight must be
won.
