What Is This?

(album: The Hawkins Family - 1980)

What is this
That I feel deep inside
That keeps setting my soul afire
Whatever it is
Whatever it is
Whatever it is
It won't let me
Hold my peace

What is this
That makes people say I'm mad and strange
What is this
That makes me want to run on in Jesus' name
Whatever it is
Whatever it is
Whatever it is
It won't let me
Hold my peace

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

Ooh! What is this!

What is this
That makes me do right when I would do wrong
What is this
When I'm down low, it gives me a song
Whatever it is
Whatever it is
Whatever it is
It won't let me
Hold my peace

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

Ooh! What is this!
