Spirit thing

Newsboys

Lyrics
It's not a family trait
It's nothing that I ate
And it didn't come from skating with Holy Rollers

It's an early warning sign
It keeps my life in line
But it's so hard to define, never mind

It's just a Spirit thing
It's just a holy nudge
It's like a circuit charge in the brain

It's just a Spirit thing
It's here to guard my heart
It's just a little hard to explain

It pushes when I quit
It smells a counterfeit
Sometimes it works a bit like a teleprompter

When it's teleprompting you
I pray you'll let it through
And I'll help you with the how, but for now

It's just a Spirit thing
It's just a holy nudge
It's like a circuit charge in the brain

It's just a Spirit thing
It's here to guard my heart
It's just a little hard to explain

I took the pulpit
Then backed down again
Some things in heaven
Cannot be explained

Yeah, it's just a Spirit thing
It's just a holy nudge
It's like a circuit charge in the brain

It's just a Spirit thing
It's here to guard my heart
It's just a little hard to explain

It's just a Spirit thing
It's just a holy nudge
It's like a circuit charge in the brain

It's just a Spirit thing
It's here to guard my heart
It's just a little hard to explain

It's just a Spirit thing
It's just a holy nudge
It's like a circuit charge in the brain

It's just a Spirit thing
It's here to guard my heart
It's just a little hard to explain
