What Is This
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What is this, that I feel deep inside
And it keeps setting my soul on fire
Whatever it is, it wont let me hold my peace
What is this, makes folks say I'm acting strange, makes me wanna run on in his name, whatever it is. It won't let me hol my peace
I say it makes me love all my enemies, and it makes me love my friends. And it won't let me be ashamed, to tell the world, that I've been born again
What is this, makes me do right, when I want to do wrong
When I'm down low it gives me a song, what ever is is, what ever it is, it wont let me hold my peace
