I've come to get my blessing
I've gotta get my breakthrough
The power of my praise
Gives me strength so I can press on through
So I gotta stretch
Stretch forth, reaching for my blessing
So I gotta press
Press forth, reaching for my blessing
(Gotta get my) gotta get my blessing
(I believe he'll work a) miracle
The power of my praise
Give me strength so I can press on through
[Chorus:]
(So I gotta) Stretch
Stretchin for it, reaching for my blessing [x3]
Oh-Oh
Stretchin for it, reaching for my blessing
Stretchin for it, reaching for my blessing
Oh-Oh
[Bridge:]
I'm still believing for my miracle my faith says
It's special it's marvelous and it's wonderful-wonderful
[Vamp:]
Reach for it [x4]
The mark, the prize, the higher calling
Move towards it [x4]
The mark, the prize, the higher calling
Stretch for it [x4]
The mark, the prize, the higher calling
Leap for it [x4]
The mark, the prize, the higher calling
Yes, Gotta get my blessing [x6]
The mark, the prize, the higher calling
It's mine, gotta get my blessing [x4]
The mark, the prize the higher calling
Yes, I gotta get my blessing [continue to end]
