The Battle Wages On

"For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate" Romans 7:15

I’ve fought and I’ve tried
Marched ahead in these cryptic times
With each new wound tempted
To raise a white flag, my faith forfeited

I know what is right and I know what is wrong
But my flesh craves depravity
While my soul longs for your glory
The battle wages on

My strength is devastated and gone
Resolution no longer urges me on
God why must I wage war everyday
Pressed to relinquish and walk away

I know what is right and I know what is wrong
With my feet scarcely in the flames
And my hands grasping the clouds
The battle wages on

Shots ring out in the sky over head
The ground trembles as soldiers begin to flank
I hear cries of victory and righteousness
And see your glorious army rise

I know what is right and I know what is wrong
Your strength in me compels me on
A new ardor for your glory pounding in my veins
The triumph has begun, and your battle wages on

"For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness, For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people, For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry, For Beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day, For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others." 
— Audrey Hepburn
