Fighting For Life
Living with His word two forces fight for me
I’m torn at my center like an angry wave at sea
Thrown back and forth my soul clings to His decree
Humiliation my shroud of shame as I wait to be free
From the enemy I only read of who came as a friend
Like a wolf in sheeps clothing making sure I didn’t mend
The bond with Jesus’ love cementing each time he’d tend
To his evil and wicked deeds are now coming to an end
With desires of my heart revealing my darkest plight
Roaring in temptation with shameful behavior his spite
Punishing in proud cruelty during every action I recite
The Lord’s Prayer over and over through the whole night
I’m so grateful for You, Father, thank you for being there
With me during the fight of my life and he who I can’t bear
Anymore of my hearts desires I don’t want to go back there
Grant me strength and faith to fight desires within life I err
Please, Father, I plead with You, take from me my past
Exhausting as I struggle throughout my life fading fast
In sorrow, grief and gratitude, I thank you, I’m aghast
Lead me by faith to Your kingdom everlasting and vast.
