Sin,,, it is a real problem a foe we can't defeat
An enemy in disguise a force we cannot beat
It is everywhere around us within the people that we see,
Like a virus within our own the pleasures from which we flee,
We grapple head to head, this foe we can't bring down,
Struggling to get free, this umpteenth time around,
It hacks into our minds and searches for the weak
It manipulates our thoughts from which we dare not speak
And it reaches in, and gnaws away, in an unrelenting fashion,
But we dare not feed it, no we daren't for fear to turn our passion,
We endure and carry onwards with this gnawing in our minds
The only way we can soften it, is in Jesus Christ we find
We fight for all that's Holy to live lives from His Book
To read and pray through every page from Sin would have us pluck
Our eyes are fixed on Jesus the Saviour of our Soul
And as a thankful ready people we give to him our all,
And if we stray today to look around and take our eyes off Him
Satan pounces as an angry dog and stirs the pleasures within,
We try to wrestle with him and put him to the ground
But if we are not focused inevitability will be found
And when we awaken with our faces in the dirt
And the light within dims and our whole body hurts
And our Soul is screaming from the Hurt that's within
And we try and run from, the sepid stench of Sin,
We try to remember of where we went awry
We realise our foolishness so back to Christ we cry.
So of course the Lord He welcomes, back to His open arms
We tell Him of our wrong to Him He puts to bed our calms
And when we see His smiling face and the Glories that surround
We cannot help but throw ourselves at His feet onto the ground
It is so much an endurance this fight to keep our Soul
But Satan will try and steal it, so the Love of Christ we hold.
And we endure to carry onward with this gnawing in our mind
And we rest our problems with this Jesus
The Saviour of Mankind.
