I Want

I want to feel a lovely attraction

To a young woman my age who

Wants my interaction

I want to feel her lay upon my chest

Her hugging me tight as I'm pulled to her breast

I want to burn with that holy fire

Full to the brim with a spiritual desire ​

That day long ago as I walked down the street,

Amidst all the people I happened to meet,

I saw to my horror, I saw with dismay,

Their souls were all empty and wandering away—

For wide is the gate that leads downward to Hell,

So I must preach the gospel, the truth I must tell!

I want to put my hands on a man paralyzed

And watch him get up to his happy surprise!

I want them to see the power of Christ!

Displayed through a holy man without vice

I want to command a dead body to rise,

And watch it wake up right before their own eyes!

Those who think I am mad will be humbled and bowed,

When the power of faith is proclaimed to the crowd!

I'll fly like a bird and be light as a feather!

I'll be filled to the brim with a love beyond measure!

I'll dance and I'll prance and I'll run like a boy!

I'll ring like a bell with a bucket of joy!
