GHS 154 : Give Me A Double Portion Lyrics
- 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, “A double portion” I can hear him say.
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.
-
As Elijah stood that day, to Elisha he did say, “Ask me what I shall do unto thee;” And Elisha then replied, walking at Elijah’s side, “A double portion, let it fall on me.”
-
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 anew and this favour ask of You, A double portion — this fight must be won.
