Tug-of-War

(Romans 7:22-23)

You’ve caught yourself again

Gave into temptation

Fell into sin…

Your thought process is dim

What you’ve just done

Leaves you shaking…

You’ve promised a thousand times

To yourself and to God

That you’d leave this thing behind…

But you’re addicted to this crime

A battle’s being fought

For your soul and your mind…

CHORUS:

A war of tug-of-war

Is being waged

Within your heart and your mind

The armies are engaged

Between two natures

Your old and your new

Only one is gonna win

Your victory is up to you

BREAK

The things you used to do

Come as a blast from the past

Come back to haunt you…

Don’t give it a chance to pursue

Temptation strikes so fast

But just hold to what is true…

CHORUS

INTERLUDE:

Yeah, don’t trust in the lies

Stay away from sin

It’s not worth the compromise

Don’t let your light dim

Yeah, just let it shine

Let it shine for all to see

Let it shine all the time

Let the Spirit set you free…

CHORUS (2X)
