Why am I running?

From what I know is right?

Why am I giving in? 

Submitting, too scared to fight?

I'm hiding behind my guilt

Believing lies that I know are wrong

My will is so weak

My enemy seems too strong

The shadows cover my shame

I can hear You calling out

But I retreat into sin

My fear feeds my doubt

There's no way You still want me

I'm a human with no self-control

A wretch who can't walk straight

With guilty pleasures in his soul

My mind rejects you

My eyes search elsewhere

My feet lead me to destruction

A path that leads nowhere

I'm confused You love me?

Even with my filthy spirit?

My body thats fails and gives in?

My evil nature knows no limit!

God! How could You want me?

I don't think you know everything

Did you see what I did yesterday?

I don't belong with a King!

Yet You died for me

Your death made an escape

To flee sin and accept You

But is it too late?

No? I can still come?

Then please forgive me!

I want to be near you! 

Wipe my slate clean

Thank you for restoring my life

Thank you for always forgiving

Thank you for your endless love

That gave me a reason for living
