Your War Within

Living in Christ Jesus is not all easy for there's fighting going on inside even though the holy spirit's living in the old sinful nature still there to abide This is the ultimate war of all where sin must be rooted out so Jesus gives you the victory in obedience to holy writ no doubt The greatest fight is in the mind make every thought captive to Christ giving no room for any sinful seed cut it at it's root so won't be enticed Fill the mind all that's good keep it active with all that's pure show yourself one approved to God for His grace brings a certain cure Set your goal to glorify your Lord give no place for the flesh to rule be truly spiritual focus on Jesus alone for when you do then you're no fool ('We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,' 2 Corinthians 10: 5 'See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.' Colossians 2: 8)
