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 Favor Ask Of You,
A Double Portion — This Fight Must Be Won.
