Lyrics
Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC [Chorus – Full Choir, Tight Unison] The meal kept stretching The meal kept stretching When the famine hit the land The meal kept stretching One little handful One little jar But God put enough In what looked too small The meal kept stretching The oil kept pouring Every day she reached again And there was still more [Bridge – Warm Stacked Harmonies] She said, "This is all That I have left" The prophet said, "Make mine first And trust what God said" No overflowing cupboard No harvest in the field But every time she opened it Provision was revealed Trust the word Trust the word God will keep His word [Chorus – Choir Snaps, Unexpected Brass Hits] The meal kept stretching The meal kept stretching Through the drought and through the days The meal kept stretching The jar never emptied The barrel stayed supplied God kept a household When the whole land dried The meal kept stretching The oil kept pouring Every day she reached again And there was still more [Bridge – Rhythmic Choir Changes] Last meal God saw it Last jar God knew it Last hope God held it One word Changed the ending She gave in faith The Lord gave back What looked like little Would not run out Day after day She reached inside And every single time God had supplied [Repetitive Run – Deep Pocket Groove] Still some meal Still some oil Still some meal Still some oil Morning came Still enough Evening came Still enough One more day Still enough One more need Still enough Kept stretching Kept stretching God kept stretching it Kept pouring Kept pouring God kept pouring it Not empty Not empty The barrel wasn't empty Not dry Not dry The oil never ran dry [Choir Run – Tight Vocal Changes] Little became plenty Plenty became daily Daily became proof That the Lord would sustain them Reach again There is more Reach again There is more God had already Gone before Meal in the barrel Oil in the jar God can keep a house In the middle of hard [Outro – Smooth Choir Resolution] The land had famine But her house had bread The prophet gave the word And she did what he said The barrel kept giving The oil still flowed The Lord kept the promise And carried the load The meal kept stretching The meal kept stretching [Final Choir Hit] There was still more!
