Spoken: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.
(Romans 8:14)
I woke up determined to have a spiritual day,
To glorify my maker,
To choose the kingdom way.
Temptation confronted me early
With easy opportunity.
Would I allow my mouth to slander
Or should I simply hold my peace?
I was teetering between child and son
All the time it is "Which one?"
Hear the Spirit and Obey
Or let my flesh have its own way.
I heard Your whisper clearly,
but what You asked of me was hard.
My spirit wanted to do it,
But my flesh was caught of guard.
A simple act of kindness
Was the loving request You made.
Could I speak the words You spoke,
Or would I remain silent and afraid?
Still, teetering between child and son
All the time it is "Which one?"
Hear the Spirit and Obey,
Or let my flesh have its own way.
I want to know, I need to know: How long?
I want to know, I need to know: How long?
I want to know, I need to know: How long?
'Till I stop teetering between child and son
All the time it is which one.
Hear the spirit and obey,
Or let my flesh have its own way.
