How many times must I ask*
For forgiveness for this sin
Just when I think I've conquered
It rears it's ugly head again
And with it comes the guilt, the shame
In my moment of despair
The vicious cycle starts again
A well traveled road that leads nowhere
My inner being knows what's right
And yet I do what's wrong
My spirit yearns to stand and fight
The flesh that holds me down
Without the power of the Cross
My life will not concede
Until I've finally had enough
There is no hope for me
So who will save this sinful man
When I have nothing else
Praise be to Christ, the Great I Am
*Who saves me from myself
For forgiveness for this sin
Just when I think I've conquered
It rears it's ugly head again
And with it comes the guilt, the shame
In my moment of despair
The vicious cycle starts again
A well traveled road that leads nowhere
My inner being knows what's right
And yet I do what's wrong
My spirit yearns to stand and fight
The flesh that holds me down
Without the power of the Cross
My life will not concede
Until I've finally had enough
There is no hope for me
So who will save this sinful man
When I have nothing else
Praise be to Christ, the Great I Am
*Who saves me from myself
Romans 7: 18-25
