Lyrics
(Hook) (Lead)
Give me that joy I can't explain and extra peace that'll ease my pain. Want that love that'll never change.
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.
(v1: Solo)
Anybody ready, ready for His glory? If you're a seeker for life, let me tell you this story. Every place that's dark, He will bring it to light Hypocritical horsebacks, sliders, liars, time to get right.
See I include myself, I cast my own stones, I'm the man in the mirror, y'all; I can see my wall.
(Pre-Chorus A)
But I'm here by grace through Christ by faith. I had to make that choice, I had to open up my mouth and say:
(Repeat Hook)
(v2: Solo)
Anybody tired? You want the show to end. Get the actors off stage, and let church begin. Do you want a revolution? You want to hear a new song? God is cleaning up house at first He started right at home.
Come on miracle water, prayer cloths, some money and fame. Everybody got a title, but do you know your name?
(Pre-Chorus B)
If we humble ourselves people, fall on our face and ask God everything in me; that's not right, take it away.
Repeat Hook Twice
Bridge 1: Trio Unison
I need You today, 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 old me.
You took away everything,
Now You're my everything.
(Repeat 2x)
(BRIDGE 2:)
Give me that God that breaths live into the nostrils of man. A Sovereign God who pedestrian into creation from the time began.
I want a God who will really insult diligence, left the better darkness in stars. The God who orchestrates the future, at the same time that knows where you are.
Give me that God whose supplies my needs, cause He has all the cattle on the hills. And He's the God that wipes my tears, just enough, enough to pay all my bills.
Give me me that God, that's the God I'm talking 'bout.
(repeat 2x)
Give me that (3x)
Ooh
Hook until end

Meaning & Inspiration
“Give Me” asks for spiritual realities that cannot be reduced to status or religious display: joy, peace, unchanging love, moral courage, and a fuller knowledge of God. The lyric turns its criticism inward as well as outward, acknowledging personal failure before challenging hypocrisy, empty titles, and public performance. Grace through Christ and faith become the basis for change, while confession and humility provide the response.
The song’s requests draw on several biblical themes. Philippians 4:7 describes God’s peace as surpassing understanding, and Ephesians 2:8 identifies salvation as grace received through faith. Its call for God’s people to humble themselves closely echoes 2 Chronicles 7:14. Later lines praise the Creator who gives life, rules creation, knows individual need, and supplies what is necessary. Across its hooks and spoken declarations, the lyric seeks God himself rather than the appearance of religion, joining repentance with a desire for transformed conduct.
