The God Within
So many worship their great god in prayer
Their unseen god who lives in god only knows where
Their unseen creator who cleanse their souls of sin
And they scoff at those who talk of god within,
A god within they say this cannot be
Though they do believe in the god they cannot see
An argument on god with them one could not hope to win
But human goodness only can come from within
In ways I envy them their gift of faith
Their love of their god in hymns of praise they celebrate
I wish at times that I could feel that way
But I do not have a god to which to pray
But the god within answers our every call
And to me that is the greatest god of all.
