The Battle Within
What I want to do, I do not.
A war rages like no other kind.
What I do not want to do, I do.
A never-ending fight for my mind.
That which is evil that which is good,
is part of the devils affliction.
Can anyone out there rescue me
from pain and hurt of my addiction?
Will the good overcome all evil?
Will evil ultimately prevail?
I know within my heart what to do.
And I try, but always seem to fail.
Like two dogs fighting inside me.
One black representing a bad seed.
The other white, representing good.
The one who wins is the one I feed.
Who can deliver from this mayhem?
Who can deliver from my despair?
The answer is in the Lord Jesus.
Who can be found with one simple prayer!
