First Call - Somethin' Takes Over lyrics

There's joy in the Lord That every sinner can afford Unless you're livin' as a Christian You don't know the joy you're missing And you'll wonder how you could ever be bored It's true as can be Because it's happenin' to me I'm gonna tell my story to you 'Cause I know that when I'm through You're surely bound to see it the way that I see 'Cause sometimes when I kneel to pray And let the Spirit have His way Somethin' takes over Somethin' takes over my soul And soon I get to reelin' 'Cause of all the joy I'm feelin' Till I'm very nearly out of control Just like the rollin' Of the waters of the mighty sea When I'm connected to the Spirit Heavenly Father's sure to hear it 'Cause somethin' takes over me It's hard to contain A joy that words just can't explain Unless they know the reason for it All your friends will just ignore it For it seems you're going a little insane But don't you forget He isn't finished with you yet We have His spirit now to teach us For He said He'd always keep us all And that's a promise on which you can bet For He's renewing your mind And when you praise Him, you will find Somethin' takes over Somethin' takes over your soul And soon you get to reelin' 'Cause of all the joy your feelin' Till you're very nearly out of control Just like the rollin' Of the waters of the mightly sea When you're connected to the Spirit Heavenly father's sure to hear it 'Cause somethin' takes over me I get to dancin' When the spirit starts movin' my feet I can't help singin' when we're swingin' With the angels to a heavenly beat (Well, well) And then the neighbors pull theirs shutters down And start to ring me on the line I say, "I'll beg your pardon, please If I'm disturbin' the peace But then the fault's not really mine" It's just that... Somethin' takes over Somethin' takes over my soul And soon I get to reelin' 'Cause of all the joy I'm feelin' Till I'm very nearly out of control Just like the rollin' Of the waters of the mighty sea When I'm connected to the Spirit Heavenly Father's sure to hear it 'Cause somethin' takes over me Well, it was just the other morning While I was prayin', I was praisin' the Lord Thankin' Him for everything that He's done And all that He means to me I got to thinkin' really deep And it occurred to me That all I really wanted was more of Him Just to be closer, no Sir I couldn't sit there anymore You know I had to get up On the roof of the house Raisin' my hands and shoutin' "Lord, take me higher, higher, higher!" I guess the neighbors Must have misunderstood my intentions You could say I got carried away 'Cause they thought I was shoutin' 'Fire' Like the house was burning down And I was about to be D.O.A. (What a laugh) They called the hook and ladder truck A policeman and the ambulance too And everybody's running around on the lawn But nobody knows what to do And all this time, I'm standin' there On the roof of the house With my hands in the air Havin' a wonderful time with the Lord I told you, Christian's rarely get bored But before too long they figured out There's no spark or flame to be worried about And then they all got pretty steamed Thinkin' it was a choke and I screamed And as they're about to do their worst to me I saw a golden opportunity And from my high and lofty perch I preached a sermon like it was church And when I was finished, they forgave me For the crazy way that I raved Now I know that all things work for good 'Cause they all ended up gettin' saved, yeah! Somethin' takes over Somethin' takes over my soul And soon I get to reelin' 'Cause of all the joy I'm feelin' Till I'm very nearly out of control Just like the rollin' Of the waters of the mighty sea When I'm connected to the spirit Heavenly Father's sure to hear it 'Cause somethin' takes over me, yeah Somethin' takes over me Somethin' takes over me
