The War Within

Verse 1:

I wake up with good intentions

A heart that longs to change

But somewhere between the promise

And the day, I lose my way

I see the line so clearly

Between the wrong and right

But I keep walking circles

In the middle of the fight

Chorus:

I don’t do the good I’m chasing

Keep falling where I swore I wouldn’t fall again

These chains I thought were breaking

Still rattle like a ghost beneath my skin

There’s a war inside my soul

Between the flesh and what I know

And I’m tired of always losing

To the war within

Verse 2:

I hate the things I’m doing

And yet I still give in

It’s like there’s someone else inside me

Wearing my own skin

I cry out for the silence

In this noise of shame and doubt

Oh God, I know You’re near me

But I can’t seem to climb out

Chorus:

I don’t do the good I’m chasing

Keep falling where I swore I wouldn’t fall again

These chains I thought were breaking

Still rattle like a ghost beneath my skin

There’s a war inside my soul

Between the flesh and what I know

And I’m tired of always losing

To the war within

Bridge:

But even in my weakness

You never turn away

You see the war that’s raging

And You fight for me each day

You know this broken vessel

And still You call it Yours

I may be losing battles

But You already won the war

Final Chorus:

I don’t do the good I’m chasing

Still You love me when I fall again

These chains are slowly breaking

As grace keeps pulling me back in

There’s a war inside my soul

But I won’t fight it on my own

Cause You’re stronger than the voices

In the war within

Outro:

Yes, I’m tired, but I’m not giving in

Cause You walk with me… through the war within
