In the times that I’m my own worse enemy
I want to do right and walk a straight path
Yet I allow temptation and sin to get the last laugh
I cannot believe I’ve fallen again
No matter how far I run
My conscious reminds me of my sin
Dizzy thoughts and troubles increase
Lord, when will the and heartache cease
How can I remove myself from the trials and pain
Maybe I should end my life to keep from worrying again
But a permanent solution to a temporary problem is what I see
Ending my life will only bring pleasure to the one tormenting me
Though the pain in my heart is real today
It will surely drift in the coming days
O Lord, give me the strength to rise again
To be dusted off and cleansed from my sin
Forgive me Lord for my acts of disobedience
Teach me by Your grace to live like the One You sent
He is my example, my Savior, and Friend
He is my ever-present help when temptation comes again
I will come to You and cause the devil to flee
Because living with You is my eternity
With Your help I can live beyond temptation’s call
Walking in the newest of life healthy and strong
Living for You is my strongest desire
To please You always in spite of the situations that transpire
O Lord, please deliver me from me.
