I Must Breakthrough
Lord, I don’t know what to do
I try my best
But I still don’t seem to pass the test.
It is like I am fighting against
An inner enemy
One that has some degree of control over me.
In my distress I call on You
And it may seem to change a little
until I realize
I still haven’t won the battle
Because the hindrance is still there.
No, it is not fear
Nor is unwillingness the cause,
This problem is so confusing
It causes me to pause,
And wonder what is the real cause.
But regardless of what happens
I do not intend to give up
To You Lord…I am stuck
Like glue
I must breakthrough.
Yet somewhere deep inside
Something says
“you have been here before,
and what happened then?”
as sure as night is followed by day
It went away.
So even if the victory
Is not before my eyes
It is in my heart,
Lord
By faith in You
I have broken through.
