Death to Me ( My Flesh, The Old Me, Self)

I no longer strive for happiness,

Because everyday life hits me around the corner,

If it’s not the situations I am placed in, it’s me not being able
to comprehend how to deal with certain types of people I have to interact with,

I know I need mercy as much as they do, and Lord, if I am self-centred
and self-absorb,

Help me to repent and turn to you,

Now I am just content to strive for Joy,

Hoping I become more like you, so that when it is indeed my
time to go,

I am found in you, that is true Joy to me,

I can’t let situations around me , tear me down, because this
world is passing and fading, 
Help me to seek after purity , holiness, so that my ways reflect who you truly are......

I know these situations, we call life, it's for me to develop character,
it's for my faith to grow in you,
but sometimes, it feels like I can't make it, and when I fall into sin, I can't take it,

Even if the world's against me, I know I can still make it,
As long as, I am with you....
