Began a new life
Found a love of your own
Got someone by your side
Now you don't have to be alone
But you find yourself in need of more than what they can give
And it's taking all your strength within to get them to understand
Chorus
Well, there's a place within the soul
There's a place that nobody knows
It's a place where some they come and go
But no one can fulfill the Godspot
A place that's in demand
Need a lot of love someone to understand
It's a place where only He can
'Cause no one can fulfill the Godspot
Always surrounded
By so many many friends
They were like a family
Promised to be there 'til the end
But then you realized you gave too much of your heart away
You put all your trust in them
You thought they would always stay
Chorus
When everyone has let you down
Depend on God, He'll always be around
And when life seems impossible
Trust in Him, and you will find He's able
Yes, He's able, yeah
I'm trying to say that things and people will never satisfy
'Cause there is nothing or anyone who could take the place of God
Chorus
No one can fulfill it, it's a Godspot, yes it is
