When BAD and I together be
BAD and I run strong.
For when I run along with Thee
the BAD is not so wrong.

But when the GOOD is here with me,
when hand in hand we live,
Then GOOD is all I care to be
and GOOD is what I'll give.

They're both alive within me,
these characters of two.
So plain, so awkward can I see
they're alternately true.

For when I run with Thee again,
and feel Thy goodness through,
I'll yield my very soul to BAD
and GOOD will ebb from view.
