Who Dwells Within
    There's a story I want my life to tell,
 
For when I claim that Jesus dwells within

I want others to see Him there as well.

     I can't say that I'm a child of the King,

nor be called a joint heir with Jesus

if my words and deeds carry satan's sting

and with them I tear others all to pieces.

     I've no right to lift my voice and sing,

nor praise His holy name

if others I seek to criticize and defame

and by my actions hurt and heartache bring.

     For by these things the story that I tell

would not be the glorious one of Jesus dwelling within

but rather that my heart is just an empty shell.
