GOD WITHIN
The things we’ve seen, the things we’ve done, the things that we have been
They’ll last no longer than our flesh, our follies, and our sin
Yet God within us longs to make a profit that shall last
Eternal in its future worth, its present, and its past
Harrow not your worldly deeds with seeds that sprout a day
Hallow rather deep your soul with deeds that long repay
There is no treasure true enough to pass the Door of Death
Except the God within us whose High Spirit will not rest
Driven long to many things a man can many wrongs
Yet God within us longs to build a home where He belongs
I can only say to you what I have learned at last
Let Him dwell within yourself and that shall never pass
