227. Restlessness Banished

I'm restless.  What's the reason?
I'm lonely. What's the source?
Why can't my thoughts stay on one thing...
They're on some random course.
This general sense of vagueness
and feelings undefined
Begin to look familiar now;
I recognize the signs.

Begone from me, I tell him,
that liar and the thief.
I stand in my authority
and there I find relief.
The restlessness has vanished;
His presence makes me full.
My thoughts are captured by one thing -
my Lord who's wonderful.
