Give Me A Double Portion Old Gospel Song 

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, "A 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, "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." 

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 anew and this favor ask of you, A double portion -- this fight must be won.
