Every day I go in and out

The tide goes down "I'm a new person now"

Or so I thought

But it's only until the tide comes back in

And tries to draw me in

Jesus taught me how to fight the tides

But I'll be working on it for years to come

Those tides of temptation

Those tides of despair

I struggle with my double mind

Jesus said we were supposed to be of one mind

But I still strive to beat that devil out

But daily he comes back

Slowly that second mind is dying

And my love is growing

My God gave what I could take

He gave me what would make me weak so that he could be strong

He made my weakness for his glory

That I may understand what others go through

That I may love those who struggle

With what I've battled for all these years

My affliction made me weak so that my God could come in

And take the wheel

I took his hand one day

And he pulled me out of the tide

But sometimes those tides try to **** me back in

Sometimes I'm being ****** into a whirl pool

I lose sight of my Lord

Just like Peter did

That's when I begin to sink

And the water wakes my sleepy eyes and my vigilance is restored

I struggle to remain vigil

But I'll make it

I have a father to show me
