Fighting Spirit

Did You not place inside me a spirit to fight A power in my soul to defend what is right They come against me with all their guns My flesh may be afraid and want to run That’s when I reach down deep inside What is inside of me I cannot hide The truth You place in my heart The one thing that sets me apart From a world of darkness and deceit Your love, Your light makes me complete And gives me a purpose to stay strong Get me past this struggle, this I long Transform me and bring me through Help me to keep my eyes fixed on You

Scarlett, this reads like a thoughtful prayer. I have no doubt His eyes will be "fixed on you." Thanks for sharing, Carolyn
