Back and Forth
The back and forth, the to and fro
The evil seeds the enemy sows
How can I walk the straight and narrow?
While I suffer blow after blow
How can I continue to follow in your plan?
While I still be a double minded man
It’s hard to call on your name
In the midst of my shame
I am in so much pain
But from where has it come?
And to where can it go?
In my guilt, I am brought low
The truth is I am guilty
But I don’t have to bear this shame
The price has been paid
You have taken it away
Yet there is a cunning snake
A liar and a fake
Who wants me to think otherwise
To believe his devious lies
That I should run from you
That I should only hide
But it isn’t true
The real truth is this, this is what's up
Though I fall down, I am lifted up
Though I fail, I remain forgiven
By your great love I am driven
So that even when I stumble
My faith will not crumble
Though I still do wrong
You make me strong
I now have an answer
To this deadly cancer
A cure for my imperfection
To move in a new direction
Not to mourn and wallow
But simply to turn and follow
After the one who called me
And set me free
Who opened my eyes
So that I could see
