Godliness Within

I'm so perplexed, so perplexed

Did I just send that nasty text?

I’m so bewildered, bewildered…

I hung out with the wrong herd



I need tons of godliness

I need some gladness

I need some happiness

I need to make progress



I want to do the impossible

Please love me till I am able

I need your glorious, gracious godliness

Need many, many traits of righteousness



Christ, come now

I need You somehow

I need that Kingdom of God

Yes, I vertically nod…nod…



I need tons of godliness

I need some gladness

I need some happiness

I need to make progress



I want to do the impossible

Please love me till I am able

I need your glorious, gracious godliness

Need many, many traits of righteousness



I’m so lost without You near

I’m so lost and I am in fear

Give me endless cheer

Wipe away my tears

I’ve been lost for years

Hold on to me, my dear

I’m so alarmed, but I need to be brave

I’m so alert and aware – I need to behave



I need tons of godliness

I need some gladness

I need some happiness

I need to make progress



I want to do the impossible

Please love me till I am able

I need your glorious, gracious godliness

Need many, many traits of righteousness



I need Your Spirit of grand, pure hope

Your beautiful soul is glowing so dazzlingly 

I am slowly hanging on my very last rope

Take me far, far away from mere captivity
