Spinnin’ by Melodie Yvonne
I got the fire of God in my belly
But the Devil’s mush in my brain
And all of this whispered anxiety
Is makin’ my heart feel insane
I know that there’s only one answer
To follow that spirit lead road
But my bravery’s startin’ to waiver
With all of those fears takin’ hold
Lord, stop my mind spinnin’, Lord, stop my mind spinnin’
I need some salvation and a few new beginnings
And if you don’t save me I’ll be lost again, oh Lord
Help me stop spinnin’ and stand where I am
I know that life’s ultimate question
Is rooted in a firm 42
I still just don’t know how to ask it
Or if I ask too much of you
Just know where you lead I will follow
I’m always along for your ride
Just please stop me runnin’ in circles
And breathe into me your new life
Lord, stop my mind spinnin’, Lord, stop my mind spinnin’
I need some salvation and a few new beginnings
And if you don’t save me I’ll be lost again, oh Lord
Help me stop spinnin’ and stand where I am
Oh Lord, Help me stop spinnin’ and stand where I am
