Broken and Defeated
It's all around me, everywhere I go,
Often I'm challenged to hold onto what I know,
The world around me is so big and so loud,
saying this sin is OK, I should even be proud,
I know it's not, I've been given a sense of right and wrong,
But it doesn’t go away it's in every magazine movie and song,
You died for me, and took it all away,
So why do I still struggle with it, day after day?
At services, in my room, heavy with defeat,
I've knelt and layed it all down at your feet,
Yet I go away and soon retrieve it,
It's garbage around me so why do I receive it?
I don't know how to keep it away,
how to give it to you and make it stay?
In you there is forgiveness and freedom,
there is no addiction in your kingdom,
That word is scary, so big and so bad,
but I know you won't judge me, for that I’m glad,
I've sought accountability and made it clear,
but it all means nothing if your not here,
I need you in every way possible to end this,
don't leave me vulnerable, for one chance to miss,
protect me from the world, from myself,
God,I'm ready, on my knees, begging for your help.
