Battle Over My Soul

Tugging me apart
Trying to win my heart

Aching, pulling me left and right
Continuing pain, day and night

Doing right was never easy
It seemed painful, ugly and even cheesy

What my body longs for
Seems fun, relaxing and not at all harmful

Deep inside me, I knew what to do
As hard as it was, I did what is true

Help me Abba, take control
I don’t want my heart to become hard and dull

He takes the lead, and ends the fight
He is my shield, protector and my light

My soul and spirit unite as one
The war is complete, God has won.
