Lyrics
Verse 1
When I hide like Adam, call my name
When I run like Jonah, turn my way
When I sink like Peter in the waves
Reach Your hand and pull me up again
When the serpent whispers what is false
Give me strength to choose You at the cost
When I'm standing frightened at the sea
Make a road where there should never be
Chorus
Like You did then
Do it again
Do it again in me
Like You did then
Do it again
Lord, do it again in me
Refrain
Give me Abraham's faith when I can't see
Give me Job's faith when You don't answer me
Give me David's courage when the giant stands
Give me Moses' strength to raise my hands
When I doubt like Thomas, show Your scars
When I'm lost like Saul, come find my heart
When there's nothing left that I can see
Do what You did then
Do it again in me
Verse 2
When I wrestle Jacob through the night
Let me leave there changed by morning light
When I'm trapped like Daniel with the lions
Shut their mouths and teach my heart defiance
When the fire burns like Babylon
Stand beside me till the flames are gone
When my walls are high like Jericho
Teach me when to march and when to know
Chorus
Like You did then
Do it again
Do it again in me
Like You did then
Do it again
Lord, do it again in me
Refrain
Give me Abraham's faith when I can't see
Give me Job's faith when You don't answer me
Give me David's courage when the giant stands
Give me Moses' strength to raise my hands
When I doubt like Thomas, show Your scars
When I'm lost like Saul, come find my heart
When there's nothing left that I can see
Do what You did then
Do it again in me
Bridge
Give me Mary's yes
Give me Joseph's dreams
Give me Esther's courage
When I'm called before the king
Give me Ruth's devotion
Give me Hannah's prayer
Give me Paul's hallelujah
With the prison still right there
If I'm Lazarus
Call me from the grave
If I'm Bartimaeus
Let me cry Your name
If I'm reaching through the crowd
With one trembling hand
Let me touch the edge of Your robe
And rise again
Refrain
Give me Abraham's faith when I can't see
Give me Job's faith when You don't answer me
Give me David's courage when the giant stands
Give me Moses' strength to raise my hands
When I doubt like Thomas, show Your scars
When I fall like Peter, know my heart
When I'm buried where no hope should be
Call me like Lazarus
Call me out to breathe
Chorus
Like You did then
Do it again
Do it again in me
Outro
Part the sea
Shut the lions' mouths
Break the chains
Bring the walls down
Call my name
Reach Your hand
Roll the stone away
What You did for them
Jesus
Do in me today.

Meaning & Inspiration
“Do it again” by May the Lord Studio builds its prayer from remembered biblical events. The verses move through Adam, Jonah, Peter, Moses, Daniel, Lazarus, and other named figures, asking that God’s past acts become present help. This approach closely follows the pattern of Psalm 77, where remembering earlier wonders becomes the basis for prayer.
The recurring chorus keeps the request short while the surrounding sections supply its meaning. Early verses focus on rescue from fear, deception, and danger. The refrain asks for qualities associated with particular biblical lives: Abraham’s faith, David’s courage, and Hannah’s prayer. The bridge then moves from identification with those figures toward direct requests for intervention. Images of the divided sea, closed lions’ mouths, broken chains, fallen walls, and an opened grave gather the song’s many references into its final appeal to Jesus.
