The will is hard to overcome
The many desires on my mind
I feel out of place, undone
So many selfish acts in place
I cry out to God for some peace
But then in the same instance
I turn away from his grace
Why am I a yo-yo
Can't seem to stand my ground
There is a lot to show
Wonders of his work
Having a mind that is sound
I try so hard to trust
But my faith is weak
I've asked myself if I've had enough
Enough of life so bleak
I turn away from the darkness
And run after the light
The enemy turns away
As I fall to my knees and pray
I cry out to God for him to rescue me
He answers with a firm yes
And all precious things I can see
The road is bumpy and full of cracks
But with the Lord there is nothing I lack
