Conflict Resolution

Across the rows, across the aisles I look at you, you look at me Unspoken, yet I can’t deny It’s there, but should not be Oh what a silly man I am To think that I could sing An aubade to a time long past And resurrect the spring We want most what we can’t have And we may never get It’s been that way since Adam strayed And took the bite of death Audacious heart in me you live And to me shrewdly say, "You only come this way but once, So catch and seize the day!” My spirit groans, my conscience knows Full well my heart does lie But then that heart in rebel clothes Commands my spirit: “Die!” Now in our flesh dwells no good thing The Bible does impart And Wisdom also teaches us The fool trusts in his heart To be enticed is not to sin For often we are tried But what one does when trial comes Reveals who reigns inside Yet there is help to cure the plight It does not come from man No human strength can win the fight Against the evil plan The One Who is omnipotent The One Who died in shame I rest my case on what He did And call His mighty name In Christ and Christ alone I trust To gain the victory Against my unrelenting foe The trifold enemy
