Something Within

Preachers and teachers would make their appeal

Fighting as soldiers on great battlefields;

When to their pleadings my poor heart did yield

All I can say

there is something within.

Something within me that holdeth the reins

Something within me that banishes pain;

Something within me i cannot explain

All that I know there is something within.

Have you that something

that burning desire?

Have you that something

that never doth tire?

Oh

if you have it - that Heavenly Fire!

Then let the world know there is something within.

I met God one morn'

my soul feeling bad

Heart heavy laden with a bowed down head.

He lifted my burden

made me so glad

All that I know there is something within.
