My battle

47 3 5
                                    

My heart says I need to follow You

But my body doesn’t want to

My mind says that I am a believer

But my lifestyle says I’m just a leaver

Of things that need to be done

To become a beloved son

I know something needs to change

But there’s a limit to my spiritual range

Sometimes I try to place the blame

I can list all my idols by their name

I think that I’m a Christian but I’m not the same

I may not be there for God’s glorious reign.

Of course, it’s easy to get started on the path

Anything’s better than God’s wrath

He not pleased with me

I give him misery

Even though it’s plain to see

You have to look very closely

To see how selfish we really are

Even our good deeds are called ours

There’s spiritual war going on inside me

Is it worth it is it my destiny

I’ll do anything it takes to gain the life

As long it takes no strife

God despises me as I am now

I want him to love me, but how

I know how

Love God, love your neighbor, love me

Don’t you see

Love your brother, love your father, love your mother

Love each other

Do what He tells you to do with a willing heart

Take a stand, do your part

The world is collapsing around us

The end is near so we must

Tell everyone about the gift of life

The Earth is full, the Earth is rife

With lost people who can hear the word

Go out and tell the world

Of everything God can do

And everything He asked of you
